Rome, June 3 (LaPresse) – Ukrainian security services have struck the Crimean bridge for the third time since the beginning of the war. According to RBC-Ukraine, citing the press office of the SBU (Ukrainian Security Service), the operation had been underway for "several months." Initially, some agents placed mines on the bridge pillars, and at 4:44 a.m. today, the first explosive device was detonated. The operation reportedly did not cause any civilian casualties. The explosion is said to have severely damaged the underwater supports of the lower-level pylons. Around 1,100 kg of explosives were used. "No illegal Russian structure has a place on the territory of our state. Therefore, the Crimean Bridge is a completely legitimate target, especially since the enemy has used it as a logistics artery to supply its troops," said SBU chief, Lieutenant General Vasyl Malyuk.
