The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) targeted the Crimean Bridge for the third time. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said there was no damage, reports TASS.
Peskov said that there was indeed an attack by Ukraine, but the Crimean Bridge was not damaged.
He called the illegal construction a peaceful object and said that Moscow expects new attacks on the bridge.
The third attack on the bridge
On June 3, 2025, the SBU conducted a successful underwater attack on the Crimean Bridge, using 1,100 kg of explosives, which led to serious damage to the structure's pillars.
This is the third attack on the strategic facility since the start of the full-scale war. Russia has temporarily suspended traffic on the bridge but has not officially confirmed the attack.
The operation was part of a broader SBU campaign that also included massive drone strikes on Russian air bases, which resulted in significant losses in Russian strategic aviation.
Ukraine continues to demonstrate its ability to conduct precision strikes on critical enemy infrastructure, emphasizing its determination to fight to restore its territorial integrity.
According to Ukrainian Navy spokesman Dmytro Pletenchuk, the Crimean Bridge combines the physical classical component of war with the ideological one as Russian troops use it for logistics.
