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 a drone attack on a major naval base and a Russian oil tanker, have escalated tensions. Ukraine has pledged more attacks on Russian shipping and the Crimean bridge, asserting that these operations are legal within its territorial waters.
