Ukraine strikes again on vital Russia- Crimea bridge
Ukraine launched a new attack early on Monday targeting the strategically imported Kerch Bridge linking Russia and occupied Crimean Peninsula.
The Ukraine navy and SBU security deployed two armed maritime drones to carry out the attack, which killed a Russian couple in their car and injured their daughter.
The vital road link on the bridge is likely to remain closed until November, causing chaos for thousands of Russians on holidays in the peninsula, Commercial flights to Crimea have been suspended since the Russian invasion in Feb2022, and most tourist usually drive over the bridge.
The Kerch Bridge had already been partially destroyed in a Ukraine truck bomb attack on Oct 2022.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said there would be retaliation for the latest attack.
“Of course, there will be a response from Russia,” he said.
‘The defense ministry is preparing relevant proposals. I am waiting for specific proposals to improve the security of this strategic, important transport facility,’
