The Ukrainian navy and SBU security service carried out an overnight attack on the Russian-built bridge linking annexed Crimea to Russia, a Ukrainian source told AFP Monday. READ:
"Today's attack on the Crimean bridge is a special operation of the SBU and the navy," the security service source said."It was difficult to reach the bridge, but in the end it was possible to do it," the source said.
The Kerch bridge, which links Russia to Crimea, serves as a vital link for transporting supplies to Russian soldiers in Ukraine. "Any illegal structures used to deliver Russian instruments of mass murder are necessarily short-lived," Ukrainian presidential aide Mykhailo Podolyak said on Twitter in a seeming allusion to the bridge attack.
