Ukraine hits bridge linking Crimea to Russia with underwater explosives

Ukraine launched an underwater bombing operation targeting the heavily fortified Kerch bridge, a critical infrastructure project in Russia's plan since 2018, claiming Kyiv's SBU security service. The attack, involving an explosion equivalent to over a ton of TNT, severely damaged the bridge's supports and follows recent drone strikes on Moscow's strategic bomber fleet as tensions rise ahead of potential NATO involvement. The operation was meticulously planned with extensive intelligence efforts, capturing evidence of its impact. This incident underscores Ukraine's growing assertiveness in escalating tensions while reflecting its ongoing strategic objectives amid Russia's complex conflict.
