Explosions on the Crimean Bridge will continue until this illegal structure is dismantled, according to a statement from the representative of the Defense Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Andrii Yusov.

He reminded that the Russians had repeatedly claimed the maximum protection of the Crimean Bridge and the absence of any threats. However, there had already been two incidents resulting in significant damage.

"This means that such incidents will continue in the future until Ukrainian territory is de-occupied, and the illegal structure they call the Crimean Bridge is dismantled," added Yusov.

Explosions on the Crimean Bridge

Since the beginning of the full-scale war on the Crimean Bridge, which was illegally built by the Russians, there have already been two explosions. They caused destruction.

The first explosions were recorded there in October 2022. Recently, the head of the Security Service of Ukraine, Vasyl Maliuk, confirmed that it was a special operation carried out by his subordinates.

Also, explosions occurred on the Crimean Bridge on July 17. On that occasion, the road surface was damaged.

Sources from RBC-Ukraine in the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) reported that the cause of the explosions was a strike by surface drones, which the service's employees conducted jointly with the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
