This morning, an explosion occurred in the area of one of the supports of the Crimean bridge. The roadway was damaged, which led to stopping the movement. As a result of the explosion, a married couple who was traveling by car died. Their 14-year-old daughter is in intensive care, where doctors fight for her life.
The attack on the Crimean bridge could be planned by the SBU and the Ukrainian Navy, write RBC Ukraine and the BBC with reference to sources in Ukrainian intelligence.
"The bridge was attacked with the help of surface drones. It was difficult to reach the bridge, but in the end it was possible to do it," said the interlocutor of the BBC in the SBU.
The interlocutor of the publication "RBC Ukraine" provided the same information.
Ukrainian intelligence representative Andrei Yusov refused to officially comment on the explosion. "The Crimean bridge is an excessive design." he said, quoting the words of the head of Ukrainian intelligence Kirill Budanov. He also noted that due to damage to the bridge, the Russian army in Ukraine will have problems with supply.
At the same time, the National Anti -Terrorism Committee of the Russian Federation accused Ukraine of attack. According to NAC, the bridge was attacked by two Ukrainian surface ethereal devices. During the attack, the "road component" was damaged, the committee said. The Investigative Committee opened a criminal case under an article on terrorism.
The fact that the bridge could be attacked by sea drones previously wrote pro-Russian telegram channels. The wreckage of water motorcycles was discovered at the 145th support of the bridge, where a blow was struck, Mash wrote . Such drones go to the target under water, peering to the surface only a few centimeters.
The Two Majors Z-channel wrote that two boats attacked the bridge at once: one undermined the car, the other attacked the railway track, but without success.
In Ukraine, they said that the explosion on the Crimean bridge could be a provocation of Russia against the backdrop of a discussion of a grain transaction.
“It is characteristic that with such a concentration of the ship’s group in this area and the general tension against the background of the issue of prolonging the“ grain transaction ”, the creation of such provocations, which are very loudly reporting to the occupying authorities of the Crimea, is a typical way to resolve issues of the agricultural country,” said the speaker of the South Operational Command, Natalya Gumenyuk.
How much the bridge was damaged is not known. The Ministry of Transport claims that the designs of spans are on the supports, and the supports are not destroyed. According to the department, the explosion damaged the roadway from the Crimea. However, judging by the photographs and videos published after the explosion, the damage is more serious, writes The Bell. The flight from the Crimea is really on the supports, but it is very shifted. The next side on the other side of the canvas was deformed.
