Ukraine claims responsibility for overnight attack on Crimean Bridges

The overnight attack on the Crimean Bridge was a special operation of the Ukrainian Navy and Security Service.

RBC-Ukraine reports, quoting sources in the Ukrainian Security Service that the Service and the Navy were involved in the overnight undermining of the Crimean bridge.

"The bridge was attacked with the help of surface drones. It was difficult to reach the bridge, but in the end, it was possible to do it," the source noted.

Earlier, the Security Service head Vasyl Malyuk said that the bridge was a legitimate target for Ukraine and promised to give details of the unique special operations after the victory.

The Crimea Bridge, a key supply line for Russian troops in Ukraine, was damaged in an "emergency" situation, killing two people and injuring a child.

Traffic was stopped from using the Russian-built bridge linking Russia to Crimea, which Moscow seized in 2014.

Russia's transport ministry said that there was damage to the road on the bridge closer to the Crimean Peninsula, but there was no damage to the pillars. It did not say what caused the damage.
