Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) has claimed responsibility for a bold attack on the Crimean Bridge, a critical link between Russia and the annexed peninsula. In a Tuesday statement, the SBU revealed it used underwater explosives to target the structure, escalating tensions in the region.
The 19-kilometer bridge, a symbol of Moscow's control over Crimea since 2014, has faced multiple attacks since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in 2022. 🌊💣 While damage details remain unclear, the SBU's announcement signals Kyiv's continued focus on disrupting Russian logistics.
Analysts suggest this move could impact military supply routes and energy exports. 🔍⚡ The strike comes as Ukraine intensifies asymmetric warfare tactics amid stalled frontline progress. Social media buzzed with unverified footage showing smoke near the bridge, though neither side has confirmed the extent of damage.
As cross-strait tensions (referring to the Kerch Strait) rise, global markets watch closely for potential ripple effects. 📉🌍 The incident underscores Ukraine's evolving strategies in the Black Sea theater – a high-stakes game of cat-and-mouse with geopolitical implications.
