(Crimean Wind/Telegram)Editor's Note: This is a developing story and will be updated.A railway bridge in Russian-occupied Crimea was struck in a drone attack early on June 18, sparking a fire, according to the monitoring channel Crimean Wind.The bridge crosses the North Crimean Canal near the village of Rozdolne and is located on the Kerch-Dzhankoi railway line, a key route used by Russian forces to transport military equipment and fuel to troops on the southern front.Local residents reported hearing around 20 explosions following the attack. Crimean Wind also reported that a nearby road bridge was targeted, though the extent of any damage was not immediately clear.Images and videos published by the monitoring channel appeared to show a fire at the site.Crimean Wind described the railway bridge as a critical piece of infrastructure and said the attack could "paralyze" freight and passenger rail traffic on the line. Russian-installed authorities in Crimea have not commented on the reported attack as of publication.The reports could not be independently verified, and Ukraine's military has not officially commented.The reported strike comes as Kyiv has increasingly targeted transport links connecting Crimea with other occupied areas in southern Ukraine as part of a broader effort to complicate Russian supply routes to front-line troops.In a similar attack, Ukrainian forces struck a road bridge over the North Crimean Canal near the village of Stavky and another bridge near Voinka in occupied Kherson Oblast overnight on June 17, Ukraine's General Staff said.
