Attacks on the Chonhar Bridge
Yesterday, on July 29, the Ukrainian Armed Forces claimed to have executed a second successful strike on the Chonhar Bridge.
"The Armed Forces successfully struck the Chonhar Bridge on the morning of July 29," the announcement was made via the Strategic Communications Department Telegram channel.
Previously, pro-Russian collaborator Volodymyr Saldo had claimed the supposed repulsion of a Ukrainian attack on the railway in Chonhar, stating that 12 Storm Shadow missiles were fired and all were purportedly intercepted by Russian air defense.
This marks the second attack on the bridges in Chonhar, with the first occurring a month ago on June 22. Russia also claimed responsibility for the attack using Storm Shadow missiles, a claim later corroborated by the Ukrainian General Staff.
