KEY BRIDGES STRUCK: Using what appeared to be British Storm Shadow air-launched cruise missiles, Ukraine successfully targeted two small but strategically significant bridges that link Russian-occupied Crimea to southern Ukraine.
The Sunday strike, aimed at disrupting the resupply of Russian troops, forced the rerouting of road traffic from shorter eastern routes to longer western routes, according to the Washington-based Institute for the Study of War. Images posted on social media showed part of one bridge collapsed and a large hole in the deck of the other.
”Two can play that game,” the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense said in a post on the social media site formerly known as Twitter. The same day, Ukraine used a sea drone to target a Russian oil tanker about 16 miles south of the Kerch Strait, scoring what appeared to be a direct hit on the ship’s engine room.
“It's definitely psychological warfare,” Hertling said. “Russia now has realized they have to defend in places they didn't anticipate defending in. Hundreds of miles away from the territory of Ukraine in the southeast sector of the Black Sea. That's almost 500 miles away from the coastline of Ukraine.”
HAPPENING TODAY: Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin welcomes Iraqi Defense Minister Thabet Muhammad Al-Abbasi to the Pentagon at 3 p.m. “The failure to confirm our superbly qualified senior uniformed leaders undermines our military readiness. It undermines our retention of some of our very best officers. And it is upending the lives of far too many of their spouses, children, and loved ones,” he said.
“We have been in close contact with leadership from Alaska Command for several days now and received detailed classified briefings about the foreign vessels that are transiting U.S. waters in the Aleutians,” said Murkowski. “This is a stark reminder of Alaska’s proximity to both China and Russia, as well as the essential role our state plays in our national defense and territorial sovereignty.”
