SBU hit the Crimean bridge for the third time: Malyuk revealed details of the unique operation
The SBU has hit the Crimean bridge for the third time: the operation lasted several months.
The Security Service of Ukraine has carried out a new special operation and launched a third strike on the Crimean bridge. This was reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to the SBU press service.
According to the agency, the operation was prepared for several months. SBU agents booby-trapped the underwater supports of the bridge, and in the morning of 3 June at 04:44 the first explosive device was detonated. As a result of the explosion, the supports at the level of the seabed were seriously damaged. It is noted that there were no civilian casualties.
For the explosion was used 1100kg of explosives in TNT equivalent. According to the SBU, after the attack the bridge is in emergency condition.
The operation was personally supervised by the head of the SBU, Lieutenant-General Vasyl Malyuk.
God loves the Trinity, and the SBU always brings the planned to the end and never repeats. We hit the Crimean bridge twice - in 2022 and 2023. Today we continued this tradition underwater. No illegal objects of the Russian Federation have any place on the territory of Ukraine. The Crimean Bridge is an absolutely legitimate target, because the enemy is using it as a logistical artery. Crimea is Ukraine, and any manifestations of occupation will receive our harsh response, - stressed Malyuk.
Recall that on 1 June the SBU conducted a large-scale operation on the territory of Russia - "Web". Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in his Telegram-channel reported about the Ukrainian Security Service conducting one of the most daring and large-scale operations on the territory of Russia under the code name "Spider's Web".
According to Zelenskyy, the preparation for the operation lasted more than a year and a half. All stages - planning, logistics and execution - were carefully worked out to the smallest detail. The head of state drew special attention to the fact that the headquarters of the Ukrainian operation was located literally next to the FSB regional directorate in one of the Russian regions, which emphasises the uniqueness and courage of the task.
