"The operation lasted several months. SBU agents mined the supports of this illegal facility. And today, without any casualties among civilians, the first bomb was activated at 4:44 a.m.," the SBU statement said.

"The supporting pillars, which are located below the water level, are severely damaged - this was contributed to by 1,100 kilograms of explosives in the equivalent of TNT. In fact, the bridge is in a state of emergency," the SBU stated.

SBU conducted a new unique special operation and hit the Crimean bridge for the third time — this time under water!

SBU Chairman Vasils Maļuks personally supervised the operation and coordinated its planning.

"God loves the Trinity, and the SBU always brings what is planned to the end and never repeats itself. Previously, we carried out a strike on the Crimean bridge twice in 2022 and 2023. Therefore, today we continued this tradition underwater," Maluks pointed out.

"There is no place for any illegal Russian facilities on the territory of our country. Therefore, the Crimean Bridge is an absolutely legitimate target, especially considering that the enemy used it as a logistical artery for supplying its troops. Crimea is Ukraine, and any manifestations of occupation will receive our firm response," the SBU head said.
