For the 3rd time since the start of the Russian-Ukrainian war, a powerful detonation has damaged the bridge connecting continental Russia to Crimea.
Ukraine safety Service (SBU) rapidly admitted responsibility, describing that this time it was underwater explosive attack, most likely facilitated by an unmanned submarine that left a structure moving from the Russian town of Krasnodar in the east to Kercz in Crimea "in ruins".
Shortly thereafter, a recording of the detonation of what SBU called a "seriously damaged" bridge after blowing up supporting columns was published.
"The safety Service of Ukraine carried out a new, unique peculiar operation and for the 3rd time she hit the Crimean Bridge – this time underwater!" – informed SBU on Telegram.
"Today at 4:44 p.m., without any civilian casualties, the first explosive was detonated," says the statement. "Underwater carrier pillars were severely damaged at seabed level – helped them with the equivalent of 1100 kg of TNT. Therefore, the bridge is in an emergency state".
Since then Russia has confirmed that the movement on the Crimean bridge has remained temporarily suspended as a consequence of harm and emergency. But the 12-mile bridge, the longest in Europe, was reportedly rapidly reopened after hours.
"RIA Novosti, Russian state news agency, reported that the bridge was briefly closed for a fewer hours on Tuesday," he writes NY Times. "An application that is commonly utilized in Russia to track traffic on the bridge has shown that it is reopened in the afternoon".
During the War There have been respective attacks on the iconic $3.7 billion bridge, including a truck bombing in October 2022 in which civilians were killed and injured. It took at least 10 months to repair this attack, but another attack took place almost a year after the first 1 utilized sea drones hitting support pillars.
This occurred 2 days after the Ukrainian "Pajęcz Network Operation", in which about forty Russian combat aircraft, including strategical bombers, were reportedly shot down in Kiev's most ambitious and provocative operation to date.
Ukrainian intelligence is truly on the wave, but the planet is waiting for a likely devastating "shock and terror" attack from Moscow, which seemingly shows patience, preparing for inevitable retaliation. most likely in the coming days, the mark of the attacks will be "command" centres.
