Kyiv has hit the Kerch bridge in Crimea, a key piece of Russian infrastructure illegally built by Moscow after its unilateral annexation of the Ukrainian peninsula in 2014. The operation, which took months to plan, was carried out by the SBU. In the official statement on Telegram, SBU explained how exactly it managed to strike Russia’s illegally constructed bridge for the third time since the beginning of Moscow’s full-scale invasion. Ukraine struck the Crimean bridge in October 2022 when a truck with explosives was detonated as it was crossing it. The blast also pulled part of the roadway off its joints and into the sea. It took Moscow around 10 months to repair the bridge.
