Attack on Crimean Bridge
On Tuesday, June 3, Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) carried out a series of strikes on the Crimean Bridge.
The first explosion, targeting the bridge’s mined supports, occurred around 5 AM. The operation used 1,100 kilograms of explosives in TNT equivalent.
Later in the day, more explosions were heard near the bridge, and traffic along the route was halted.
By evening, it was reported that the SBU had attacked the Crimean Bridge three times within 24 hours, damaging a structurally complex section located near the canal.
The bridge will likely be unusable for some time as a logistical route for the Russian forces.
