Strikes on the Crimean Bridge
The terrorist country constructed the Kerch Strait Bridge after the occupation of Crimea in 2014. Currently, the enemy is utilizing the structure to transfer military equipment and personnel to the southern front.
The first explosions on the bridge occurred back in October 2022. As noted by the head of the SSU, Vasyl Maliuk, it was a special operation carried out by his subordinates.
In particular, on July 17, as a result of an attack by underwater drones on the Crimean Bridge, two spans were also destroyed.
