Major Attack on Crimea Bridge: Ukraine Claims Responsibility

In a significant escalation of the ongoing conflict, Ukraine has launched a series of underwater attacks on the Crimean Bridge, which serves as a crucial link between Russia and the annexed territory of Crimea. The bridge was struck multiple times by Ukrainian forces, leading to substantial damage and the temporary closure of the bridge by Russian authorities. The Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) has claimed responsibility for the operation, describing it as part of a broader strategy to disrupt Russian supply lines amid stalled peace talks. Video footage shows massive explosions at the site, with claims that underwater explosives weighing up to 1,100 kg were used in the attacks. The recent strikes are seen as a significant challenge to Russian military logistics and raise questions about the ongoing territorial and operational strategies of both sides in the war.
