The Crimean Bridge could have been attacked by modified underwater drones, Russian Telegram channel Mash reported on July 17.
Jet ski wreckage was found in the area of the attack near pillar 145. The location of the wreckage suggests that the jet skis were aimed at the bridge’s pillar.
Russian social media groups also claim that at the time of the attack, a U.S. Air Force MQ-9 Reaper reconnaissance and strike drone was seen "flying in the sky over the Black Sea."
Since the early hours of July 17, traffic has been stopped on the Crimean Bridge.
Crimean puppet “governor” Sergey Aksyonov announced an "emergency" and Russian social media groups reported explosions and possible damage to the bridge's support.
An NV law enforcement source said that the SBU and the Ukrainian Navy were involved in the nighttime attack on the Crimean Bridge.
On October 8, a powerful explosion occurred on the Crimean Bridge, which Russia uses to deploy armored vehicles and manpower to southern Ukraine, causing several of its spans to fall into the Kerch Strait.
The Kremlin regime accused Ukraine’s spy chief Kyrylo Budanov of organizing the sabotage. In turn, Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence denied these statements, calling them "nonsense."
