Ukraine Hits Crimean Bridge Pillars with 1,100 kg of Explosives
- Ukraine’s main intelligence agency executed a third underwater bombing of the Crimean Bridge early on June 3, 2025, targeting its submerged supports near Crimea.
- This operation continued a series of strikes targeting the bridge, which Russia relies on to transport supplies to its forces in occupied Crimea and southern Ukraine, following significant damage inflicted during earlier attacks in late 2022 and mid-2023.
- SBU operatives detonated a large quantity of explosives, equivalent to over a ton of TNT, on the bridge’s submerged support structures, causing significant damage to its foundation while avoiding any harm to civilians.
- Lieutenant General Vasyl Maliuk, head of the SBU, stated the operation "lasted for several months" and called the Crimean Bridge "an absolutely legitimate target" as it serves as a logistical artery for Russian forces.
- The bridge is now in an emergency condition, implying strategic disruption for Russian military logistics amid ongoing conflict and ahead of the NATO summit in The Hague.
