The Kerch Strait bridge, connecting occupied Crimea to Russia, has been closed following an air raid by Ukrainian forces on June 17. The closure comes amid heightened tensions and multiple warnings from Russia about potential Ukrainian drone and missile attacks. According to Navy spokesperson Dmytro Pletenchuk, the Crimean Bridge accounts for less than a quarter of the total transiting cargo, with the rest being transported via a ferry crossing in Kerch, which was struck by the Ukrainian military in late May. The situation has led to active air defense measures in occupied Crimea.
