Ukraine’s SBU Strikes Underwater Pillars of Crimea Bridge with Explosives

Ukraine’s SBU security service said it carried out an underwater attack on a key road and rail bridge connecting Russia to the Crimean peninsula. Using 1,100 kilograms of explosives, the agency claimed to have damaged the bridge's underwater pillars early on June 3. The SBU released a video showing the blast, which Reuters confirmed as matching the bridge’s structure and location, though the time of filming couldn't be independently verified. The bridge is a vital supply route for Russian forces in southern Ukraine. The incident marks another bold strike by Kyiv on infrastructure supporting Russia’s military operations in occupied territories.
