Crimean Bridge Hit Again: Ukraine Claims Responsibility

Crimean Bridge Attacked for Third Time: Ukraine's SBU Claims Responsibility On June 4, 2025, a third attack targeted the Crimean bridge, a key logistical artery for Russian forces. This attack, confirmed by Ukraine's Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), follows previous incidents in October 2022 and 2023. The SBU released video footage showing the explosion and subsequent damage to the bridge's support structures. Vasyl Malyuk, head of the SBU, stated: "No illegal object of the Russian Federation has a place on the territory of our state. Therefore, the Crimean bridge is an absolutely legitimate target, especially considering that the enemy used it as a logistical artery to supply its troops." The attack employed underwater explosives, causing significant damage without reported civilian casualties. The bridge was temporarily closed for repairs. The incident underscores the ongoing conflict and its impact on infrastructure. The SBU's claim of responsibility highlights the strategic nature of the attacks and the ongoing tension in the region.
