The Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) carried out a new special operation inside Russia today, just two days after Ukraine carried out one of the most dangerous operations of the war, targeting strategic Russian air bases with drones.
A press release and video, released by the Ukrainian SBU, said that the attack, which had been planned for months, was carried out early today, after thousands of kilograms of explosives were secretly planted on the Crimean bridge, which was detonated today, which represents an island that Russia previously occupied from Ukraine, now isolated from the rest of Russia and cut off from crossing, because Ukraine used explosives planted at the bottom of the piers on which the bridge stands in the water.
Ukraine said the operation was a strategic one to block a Russian military incursion into Ukraine.
The new underwater attack on the Crimean Bridge shows the growing capabilities and new tactics that Ukraine is using in its ongoing war. The Crimean Bridge, a strategic link between Russia and the Crimean peninsula, has been targeted several times in the past as it is a vital military and supply route.
The SBU appears to be developing its special operations capabilities, particularly covert operations and strikes that have a strategic impact. The fact that the attack took place underwater demonstrates the advancement of technology and the integration of intelligence and military intelligence. This also increases the pressure on Russia to defend the bridge.
