Crimean leader Sergei Aksyonov noted that there were no casualties as a result of the strike on the Chongar bridge.

Oleg Kryuchkov, adviser to the head of Crimea on information policy explain that the peninsula with the Kherson region connects three checkpoints: two in the Armyansk region and one in the Dzhankoy region.
