Ukraine Strikes Key Bridge Linking Crimea to Mainland, Disrupting Russian Supply Route

Ukraine reportedly struck a key bridge connecting Russian-occupied Crimea with the occupied part of Ukraine's southern region of Kherson with Storm Shadow missiles, causing damage to the road but no injuries. The bridge is a key link in Russia's supply line. Meanwhile, Russian forces struck civilian and infrastructure targets with a fresh wave of missiles and drones overnight, causing many civilian casualties and further damaging the country's infrastructure. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy admitted that the progress of the counteroffensive was "slower than desired," but that Kyiv would not be pressured into speeding it up.
