Die russische Propaganda called the crashed scooter an "underwater vehicle" that attacked the Crimean bridge

At the same time, the Russian Transport Ministry denied his words and said that "only the road surface was damaged". Huge traffic jams have formed near the bridge. The occupation authorities are asking residents and guests of the peninsula to choose the land route (it runs through the occupied territories of Ukraine).

The movement of railway and road transport on the bridge has been stopped. Also stopped the ferry crossing.

A video of the damaged bridge appeared online

Russian publics say the bridge was attacked by "uninhabited underwater vehicles"

Yuriy Ignat, the speaker of the AFU Air Force, commented on the strike on the Krymsk bridge:

One can only rejoice at this situation. No water, no tourists, no bridge. And even stones from the sky! This is good news for us," he said.

Nataliya Humenyuk, spokeswoman for UC South, says that today's situation on the Crimean bridge may be a provocation by Russia amid its reluctance to continue the grain deal.

The SBU reacted with humour to the damage to the Crimean bridge.

A representative of the Ukrainian intelligence service, Andriy Yusov, told Suspilnyy:

The reasons for this - we do not comment. We can only quote the words of Kirill Budanov, head of the MOU GUR, who said that "the Crimean bridge is a superfluous construction".

And added that because of the destruction of a section of the bridge, Russians will have problems with logistics.

And we will remind you that according to the General Staff of the ZSU, as of 17 July, the losses of enemy personnel are about 238300 people.
