Crimean Bridge Attack: Ukraine Claims Responsibility, Video Shows Extensive Damage

Renewed Attack on Crimean Bridge: Ukraine's SBU Claims Responsibility The Crimean bridge, a crucial link between Russia and the annexed Crimean Peninsula, was reportedly targeted in a new attack on June 3, 2025. Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) has claimed responsibility for the incident, releasing a video showing extensive damage to the bridge's structure. The video depicts smoke billowing from the impact area and damage to the bridge's underwater supports. "The Crimean bridge is a legitimate military target," stated a spokesperson for the SBU, "and its use for transporting Russian military equipment makes it a priority target." The SBU also stated that the attack was carried out using 1100 kilograms of explosives and that there were no civilian casualties. However, these claims are yet to be independently verified. The attack marks the third reported incident on the bridge since the beginning of the conflict. The bridge's importance to Russia's military supply lines makes it a frequent target. The ongoing conflict continues to cause significant disruption and damage to critical infrastructure in the region. While the SBU's claims require further verification, the video provides compelling visual evidence of significant damage to the bridge. The incident underscores the ongoing tensions and the strategic importance of the Crimean bridge in the conflict.
