The Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) has carried out a unique special operation, striking the Crimean Bridge for the third time – this time with an underwater attack, according to Security Service of Ukraine, citing statement by SSU Head Vasyl Maliuk, Report informs via Ukrainska Pravda.
The operation lasted several months.
At 04:44 (GMT+3), the SSU activated underwater explosive devices placed beneath the bridge supports. The SSU said that the explosives with a power of 1,100 kg in TNT equivalent caused significant structural damage at the seabed level. As a result of the explosion, the bridge is now in an emergency condition.
The SSU noted that the operation was meticulously planned and caused no civilian casualties. The planning and coordination were personally overseen by the head of the SSU, Lieutenant General Vasyl Maliuk.
"Third time's a charm and the SSU always completes its missions and never repeats itself. We previously struck the Crimean Bridge in 2022 and 2023. So today we continued that tradition – underwater. There is no place for any illegal Russian structures on the territory of our state.
That is why the Crimean Bridge is a completely legitimate target, especially given that the enemy used it as a logistics artery to supply its troops. Crimea is Ukraine, and any manifestations of occupation will receive our harsh response," Vasyl Maliuk stated.
