Ukraine says it has struck a bridge connecting to Crimea with underwater explosives SBU

Ukraine said on Tuesday that it had hit the bridge connecting Russia and the occupied Crimean Peninsula with explosives planted underwater, in its third attack on the vital supply line for Moscow’s forces since the full-scale war began in 2022.

Ukraine’s security service, the SBU, said on Telegram that its agents had mined the piers of the road and rail Crimean Bridge, also called the Kerch Bridge, and detonated the first explosive at 4.44 a.m. Tuesday. The whole operation took several months, it added.

The agency said it had used 1,100 kilograms of explosives which “severely damaged” the underwater pillars ing the bridge.

Russian officials did not immediately respond to Ukraine’s claims. Traffic on the bridge has been temporarily suspended, the bridge operator announced on its official Telegram .

Although the scale of the damage was not immediately clear, Tuesday’s attack is the latest example of the SBU’s attempts to blindside Moscow and demonstrate that there are costs to continuing its war.

On Sunday, the SBU launched an audacious drone attack on Moscow’s fleet of nuclear-capable bombers, stationed at various Russian airfields thousands of miles away from Ukraine.

Vasul Malyuk, the head of the SBU, said that attack caused an estimated $7 billion in damage and had struck 34% of Russia’s strategic cruise missile carriers, which have been used to pummel Ukrainian cities throughout the war.

The SBU said Malyuk had also overseen Tuesday’s attack.

“God loves the Trinity, and the SBU always sees things through to the end and never does the same thing twice. We previously struck the Crimean Bridge twice, in 2022 and 2023. So today we continued this tradition, this time underwater,” Malyuk said.

He stressed that the bridge is a “completely legitimate target,” since Russia uses it “as a logistical artery to supply its troops” fighting in mainland Ukraine.

As well as serving as a vital supply line for Moscow’s troops, the Crimean Bridge also has huge symbolic value for President Vladimir Putin, embodying his objective to bind the Ukrainian peninsula to Russia.

Built after Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014, Putin opened the bridge in 2018. The project cost around $3.7 billion.

Tuesday’s attack marks the third time that Ukraine has targeted the bridge since Moscow’s full-scale invasion in 2022. In October of that year, a fuel truck exploded on the bridge, engulfing a part of it in flames. In July 2023, the SBU said it had blown up a part of the bridge using an experimental sea drone. Both times, Russia moved quickly to repair the damaged sections.

As well as suspending traffic on the bridge, Russian authorities temporarily halted maritime traffic in the waters off Sevastopol, the largest city in Crimea, according to state media RIA Novosti.

Russia, what's going on? Make peace as Trump urges you to do so.

This war should stop, it never made sense, it is absolutely senseless.

Putin is the "stronghead" here. He has refused to budge. The aggressor and the destroyer.

I expect Russia to respond with 2x very soon

Long overdue.

By targeting civilians?

Putin embarrassed Trump and the outcome is the renewed shege Ukraine is dumping on Russia. Trump has finally gotten the memo that Putin is not a reasonable guy that can be reasoned with. He will push more ammunition to Ukraine than Biden ever did.

Russia is receiving wotowoto from Ukraine 🇺🇦

Ok

Putin should just quit this senseless war and go into negotiations with Ukraine
The war will drag on for the next 10 years, and weaken both Russia and Ukraine while the United States, NATO and China will grow stronger militarily

False. It was repelled....

How come the bridge is still standing?

This two countries should just make peace and live in peace instead of wasting lives and infrastructures.

The worst russia can do is go Nuclear...which they wont dare.

It's all fun and games until a nuke is deployed. May God save us all
