Ukraine Strikes Crimean Bridge in Bold Move, Kremlin Denies Damage Claims
In a daring move, Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) recently targeted the bridge connecting Crimea to Russia, raising tensions between the two nations. The SBU claimed to have used underwater explosives to hit the bridge, seen as a symbolic link to Moscow’s control over the occupied peninsula.
The Kremlin, however, refuted these claims, stating that the Ukrainian attack caused no damage to the road and rail bridge. This conflicting information has heightened the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia.
According to a former Russian Army service member who runs the military blog Rybar, an underwater drone operated by Ukraine was responsible for the attack. While the extent of the damage remains unclear, this incident marks a significant escalation in the region.
Ukraine’s previous attacks on the Crimean Bridge in October 2022 and July 2023 have damaged vital railway components, disrupting Russian supply routes. Despite Russian efforts to fortify the structure, Ukraine’s persistence in targeting the bridge showcases its determination to challenge Russian presence in the region.
With conflicting reports from both sides, the situation surrounding the Crimean Bridge remains tense as Ukraine continues to assert its position through strategic military actions.
