Bridges between Crimea and occupied Ukraine targeted in explosive attacks

Explosions targeted critical road bridges connecting occupied Crimea with parts of Kherson region under Russian control, causing a rupture in a gas pipeline and cutting off supplies to 20,000 residents. The Russian-appointed acting head of Kherson region accused Ukraine of using Storm Shadow missiles supplied by the UK. Ukrainian strikes on Russian infrastructure and territory, including drone attacks and targeting an oil tanker and naval base, have escalated tensions. Ukraine has pledged more attacks on Russian shipping and the Crimea bridge, asserting that these operations are legal within its territorial waters.
