### Large-Scale Attack on the Peninsula

The night of June 11 became critically tense for Crimea. Powerful explosions were heard in the region, as reported by local communities and independent sources. Fires broke out in several key locations simultaneously — Simferopol and Sevastopol. The attack began around midnight and lasted for several hours until the alarm was lifted after 4 a.m.

### Sevastopol: Strikes in Strategic Areas

Reports of explosions in Sevastopol drew particular attention. The 'Crimean Wind' community reported a flare-up in the Kazachya Bay area, described as a 'strike'. Hits were also recorded in Kamyshova Bay and Strelets Bay, where, according to eyewitnesses, a military unit was damaged. The exact nature of the attack — drones or missiles — has not yet been confirmed.

### Arмянск and Bridges: Blow to Logistics

In Arмянск, the air defense system was active, shooting down drones. However, the strikes caused serious damage to infrastructure. According to Telegram channels, the road bridge at the entrance to Krasnoperekopsk from the Arмянск side was damaged. Eyewitnesses reported a loud roar and burning trucks. This continued a series of strikes on the peninsula's land links.

### Chongar Bridge: Already Destroyed

The day before, Ukrainian forces destroyed the Chongar Bridge, which connected Crimea with the Kherson region. Now, according to subscribers of various communities, 'there are no intact bridges left at the land entrances to the peninsula'. This puts the region's logistics and supply under threat.

### Previous Incidents

A week ago, sounds of explosions and gunfire were also heard at night in occupied Crimea following a drone threat. At that time, a hit on an oil depot was recorded. These events indicate a systematic nature of attacks on the peninsula's critical infrastructure.
