Details: The attack was carried out using Ukrainian-made FP-2 drones. The operation involved drone pilots from the 1st Separate Assault Regiment, the CODE 9.2 unit (475th Separate Assault Regiment), and fighters from the Falanha Multi-Domain Operations Centre.
"A second attack was carried out tonight. The bridge itself was not destroyed, but it had been closed to traffic for a considerable period," said Perun, commander of the 1st Separate Assault Regiment.
The 1st Separate Assault Regiment reported that its fighters are monitoring movements and repair work in the area of the bridge and are "prepared to make long-range adjustments at any moment".
"This operation is just the beginning. With this operation, we make it clear to the enemy that assault troops can now and will conduct operations not only on the ground, but also at medium-range distances," said Profi, spokesman for the 1st Separate Assault Regiment.
Background: The Ukrainian military has attacked a bridge near Chonhar for the second time in three days. On 7 June, fighters from the 475th and 1st Special Forces Regiments struck it using Behemot drones and UAVs manufactured by Fire Point. They said they had created holes in the bridge with a diameter of about one metre.
