Ukraine's SBU Claims Successful Attack on Crimean Bridge
Ukraine Claims Responsibility for Crimean Bridge Attack The Kerch bridge, a vital link between Russia and the annexed Crimean Peninsula, was attacked on June 3, 2025. Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) has claimed responsibility for the incident, releasing video footage that appears to show the aftermath of an explosion. The attack is the third on the bridge since the beginning of the conflict. The SBU's statement indicates the use of underwater explosives. Images released alongside the video show a significant quantity of explosives and drones, suggesting a well-planned operation. The video's authenticity is still being verified, but the footage aligns with previous reports of Ukrainian attacks in the region. "This is a significant blow to Russia's supply lines," stated a military analyst, speaking on condition of anonymity. "The bridge is critical for transporting military equipment and supplies to Crimea." The attack is likely to further strain the already tense situation in the region. The long-term consequences of this attack remain to be seen, but the incident highlights the ongoing conflict and the evolving tactics being employed by both sides.
