# Operation 'Conductor': Ukraine's SSO Destroyed 13 Russian Railway Bridges

Ukraine's Special Operations Forces (SSO) have officially confirmed the conduct of a large-scale operation codenamed 'Conductor'. During this campaign, which lasted several weeks, 13 railway bridges in areas controlled by Russian forces were put out of commission. This was reported by the SSO press service, citing data published by RBC-Ukraine.

### Strike on Logistics Arteries

According to military officials, the goal of the operation was to deliver a systemic blow to the enemy's 'logistics arteries'. The destruction of bridges paralyzes the movement of freight trains, hindering the transfer of equipment, ammunition, and personnel. Operation 'Conductor' demonstrates the ability of special services to plan and implement complex multi-stage tasks deep in the enemy's rear.

SSO representatives promise to release details of the operation and video materials confirming the damage in the near future. The publication of the evidence base is scheduled for the current week.

### Part of the Strategy to Isolate Crimea

Strikes on infrastructure are part of a broader strategy to isolate the temporarily occupied Crimea. Previously, thanks to the successful actions of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) in coordination with other agencies, the work of the Kerch ferry crossing was almost completely halted.

Of the five ferries used by the occupiers to ensure military logistics, the majority were destroyed or suffered serious damage. This significantly limited Russia's ability to transport cargo across the Kerch Strait.

### Escalation of Strikes: Energy and Fleet

In addition to railway infrastructure, Ukrainian forces continue to strike other critical facilities. On the night of July 19, drones carried out a massive attack on the Crimean Peninsula. As a result of the strike, 13 substations were hit, leading to serious disruptions in the region's energy supply system.

At the same time, four ships of Russia's 'shadow fleet' were destroyed in the Black Sea. This complex of actions is aimed at maximizing the weakening of the logistical capabilities and energy resilience of Russian occupation forces.
