Crimean Bridge Damaged in Underwater Explosion: Ukraine Claims Responsibility

The Crimean Bridge, a key artery connecting Crimea to mainland Russia, was reportedly targeted in an underwater attack on June 3, 2025. The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) claimed responsibility, stating that their agents planted explosives on the bridge's supports. "God loves a Trinity, and the SBU always sees its plans through and never repeats itself," SBU head Vasyl Malyuk was quoted as saying in the video. The video shows footage of apparent damage to the bridge's underwater supports. While the SBU claims no civilian casualties, the extent of the damage and the long-term impact on the bridge's functionality remain unclear. Independent verification of the SBU's claims is needed to fully assess the situation. The incident highlights the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the potential for further escalations.
