WWIII Update: Ukraine and Friends Blow Up Section of Crimean Bridge for the Third Time

For the third time, Ukraine and Western partners blew up a section of the Crimean Bridge causing significant damage.

The explosives were planted at the underwater supports and may have taken months to plan.

This comes two days after Ukraine and Friends blew up Russian bombers over a thousand miles inside Russia.

Sunday’s attack also took over a year to plan. President Trump was not notified of the pending attack before it took place.

The Deep State and Globalists are on a rampage.

Details: At 04:44, the SSU activated underwater explosive devices placed beneath the bridge supports. The SSU reported that the explosives with a power of 1,100 kg in TNT equivalent caused significant structural damage at the seabed level. As a result of the explosion, the bridge is now in an emergency condition.

The SSU noted that the operation was meticulously planned and caused no civilian casualties. The planning and coordination were personally overseen by the head of the SSU, Lieutenant General Vasyl Maliuk.

Quote from Maliuk: “Third time’s a charm and the SSU always completes its missions and never repeats itself. We previously struck the Crimean Bridge in 2022 and 2023. So today we continued that tradition – underwater. There is no place for any illegal Russian structures on the territory of our state.

Ukraine first bombed the Kerch Bridge from Crimea to the Russian mainland in October 2022.

According to Russian news agency Tass, an explosion occurred in early Saturday morning on one of Putin’s prestige projects and Europe’s longest bridge, which connects Russia and Crimea.

“An object believed to be a fuel storage tank has caught fire on the Crimean Bridge, but the viaduct’s navigable arches sustained no damage, an aide to the head of Crimea, Oleg Kryuchkov, said on Saturday,” according to the news outlet.

“According to preliminary information, a fuel storage tank is on fire… Navigable arches were not damaged. It is too early to speak about causes and consequences. Work to extinguish the blaze is underway,” Kryuchkov wrote in his Telegram channel.

Crimean Bridge, also known as Kerch Strait Bridge or Kerch Bridge, is a pair of parallel bridges, one road, one rail, spanning the Kerch Strait between the Taman Peninsula of Krasnodar Krai in Russia and the Kerch Peninsula of Crimea in Ukraine.

After annexing Crimea at the start of the Russo-Ukrainian War, Russia built the bridge. It is the longest bridge ever constructed in Russia, at 19 kilometers (12 miles), and the longest bridge in all of Europe.

Besides transportation, Russia’s motivation for building the bridge was to legitimize its territorial claims in Crimea.

On Tuesday Ukraine and Friends attempted a third time to take down the Crimean Bridge.

This war does not appear to be ending anytime soon.
