SSU strikes Crimea bridge for third time, this time underwater

The Security Service of Ukraine has struck the Crimea bridge for the third time, this time underwater. This is stated in the SSU message on the Telegram channel, the Ukrainian News agency reports.

"The SSU conducted a new unique special operation and struck the Crimea bridge for the third time — this time underwater! The operation lasted several months. SSU agents mined the supports of this illegal facility. And today, without any casualties among the civilian population, at 4:44 a.m. the first explosive device was activated!" the message says.

The SSU notes that the underwater supports of the supports were severely damaged at the bottom level - 1,100 kg of explosives in the TNT equivalent contributed to this.

"In fact, the bridge is in an emergency state," the service reports.

It is noted that SSU Chairman Vasyl Maliuk personally supervised the operation and coordinated its planning.

"God loves the Trinity, and the SSU always brings what it has conceived to the end and never repeats itself. Previously, we hit the Crimea bridge twice in 2022 and 2023. So today we continued this tradition under water. There is no place for any illegal Russian facilities on the territory of our state. Therefore, the Crimea bridge is an absolutely legitimate target, especially considering that the enemy used it as a logistical artery to supply its troops. Crimea is Ukraine, and any manifestations of occupation will receive our tough response,"

-Maliuk noted.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, in April, the Commander of the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Vice Admiral Oleksii Neizhpapa, stated that the Crimea bridge, as before, remains a target for the Defense Forces of Ukraine.
