Disabling iCloud on iPhone deleted photos taken from that device too

I disabled my iCloud photos on my iPhone and to my surprise found that it deleted all the photos taken from iPhone. Why is that ? I don't want to delete photos taken from the camera roll, just the ones on iCloud.

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 12

When you turned off iCloud Photo Library did you select the option to download and keep them on iPhone? If not, turn iCloud back on and let all pictures sync and show again. Then turn it back off and select this option.
