Ukraine’s underwater strike on the Kerch Bridge targeted both a strategic supply route and a powerful symbol of Russian control over Crimea, dealing another blow to Putin’s image and logistics.

Ukraine says it hit the bridge with underwater explosives - the crossing was built by Russia after it annexed the Crimean Peninsula.

Ukraine continues to target the Kerch Strait Bridge, a vital Russian supply artery to Crimea, with a reported third major strike on June 3rd by its SBU using a large underwater explosive device, allegedly damaging bridge pillars.
