- Ukrainians hit four more bridges in Crimea, expanding their recent campaign against Russian-held infrastructure.
- Crimea saw reports of empty shelves in food shops, indicating local supply shortages.
- Ukraine's drone commander said he wants to cut Crimea off from Russia, signalling a strategic aim to isolate the peninsula.
- Institute for the Study of War released a Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment on June 11, 2026, providing analysis of the ongoing conflict.
Why it matters: The bridge strikes further choke Crimea’s transport routes, worsening food scarcity on the peninsula and advancing Ukraine’s strategy to isolate the region, while Russia faces mounting logistical strain and potential loss of control over key supply corridors, raising pressure on its military logistics.
