An explosion recently occurred at the Crimean Bridge, but caused “no damage,” Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov claimed on June 4, accusing Ukraine of attempted attacks on Russia’s infrastructure.<\/p>\n

The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) claimed responsibility for the explosion<\/a> that rocked the bridge in the early hours of June 3. The agency said that more than a ton of explosives in TNT equivalent damaged the underwater supports of the structure.<\/p>\n

“There indeed was an explosion. There was no damage, the bridge continues to function,” Peskov said, according to the Russian state-run news agency RIA Novosti. “Kyiv continues in its attempts to attack infrastructure facilities.”<\/p>\n

Constructed after Russia\u2019s illegal occupation<\/a> of Crimea in 2014, the Crimean Bridge \u2014 also known as the Kerch Bridge \u2014 \u00a0is a critical supply and transport route for Russian forces to the occupied Ukrainian territories. It connects the occupied peninsula to Russia’s Krasnodar Krai via the Kerch Strait.<\/p>\n

The Russian state media reported on June 3 that a “Ukrainian intelligence agent” who had constructed a bomb on “orders from Kyiv” had been detained by Russia’s FSB.<\/p>\n

In comments later on June 3, Dmytro Pletenchuk, a spokesperson for the Ukrainian Navy, said the “key and most complex” part of the bridge had been damaged in the attack.<\/p>\n

The operation, which follows the SBU’s mass drone strike<\/a> against Russia’s strategic aviation on June 1, was personally supervised by the agency’s chief, Vasyl Maliuk.<\/p>\n

The bridge suffered significant damage<\/a> during two previous Ukrainian attacks in October 2022 and July 2023, though neither managed to take the bridge out of commission. <\/p>\n
