Crimean Bridge Attack: SBU Claims Responsibility for Major Explosion

Crimean Bridge Damaged in Explosion: Ukraine's SBU Claims Responsibility A significant explosion damaged the Crimean bridge on October 8, 2023. The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has claimed responsibility, stating that a large quantity of explosives was used to target a support pillar. Video footage circulating online shows significant damage to the bridge structure, particularly underwater. "They planted a ton of explosives directly under one of the supports of the Crimean bridge," a source close to the SBU reportedly stated (although this requires independent verification). The explosion caused substantial damage, affecting both road and rail traffic. The incident has raised concerns about the stability of the bridge and its strategic importance to Russia. While the full extent of the damage is still being assessed, initial reports suggest significant disruption to transportation and potential long-term repair needs. The event underscores the ongoing conflict and its impact on critical infrastructure.
