Ukraine Claims Crimea Bridge Attack Using Underwater Explosives
Ukrainian officials are claiming responsibility for an attack on the Kerch Strait Bridge, connecting Russia to Crimea. The claim suggests underwater explosives were used in the operation. This would be the third reported attack on the bridge since the start of the conflict. The announcement follows a recent, significant Ukrainian operation inside Russian territory.
Kyiv has announced it successfully targeted the Kerch Strait Bridge, a vital link between Russia and the Crimean Peninsula, using underwater explosives. According to Ukrainian sources, this operation marks the third time the bridge has been struck since the conflict began. The announcement comes just two days after a daring Ukrainian operation deep within Russia, highlighting the evolving nature of the war. The Kerch Strait Bridge has been a frequent target due to its strategic importance for supplying Russian forces and reinforcing Russia's claim over Crimea, which was annexed in 2014. Details of the alleged underwater attack remain scarce, but Ukrainian officials have suggested a sophisticated operation was involved. Russia has yet to officially comment on the new claims.
