The Kerch Bridge links Crimea to the Russian mainland which is used as main supply line to transport troops and military equipment, the SBU attacked the bridge using 1,100kg of underwater explosives damaging the structure on Tuesday.
This is now the second high-profile attack on Russia following the “Spiderweb” drone attack on Putin’s strategic nuclear bombers on Sunday.

Head of the SBU, Lieutenant General Vasyl Malyuk, said: “Previously, we struck the Crimean Bridge twice in 2022 and 2023. So today we continued this tradition underwater.
“There is no place for any illegal Russian facilities on the territory of our state. “Therefore, the Crimean Bridge is an absolutely legitimate target, especially considering that the enemy used it as a logistical artery to supply its troops.
“Crimea is Ukraine, and any manifestations of occupation will receive our tough response.”
