Attack on the Crimean Bridge — this is a special operation of the SBU, Navy and GUR.

Shots demonstrating damage on the Crimean bridge



Ukraine attacked the Crimean bridge connecting the occupied Crimea with Russia using kamikaze unmanned surface vehicles (UAVs).

The damaged span of the Crimean bridge towards Kerch sank by 50 cm.

Another span — towards Taman — was destroyed.

- Medvedev reacts to the explosion on the Crimean bridge:

They understand only the language of power. Only personal and completely inhumane methods.

Therefore, it is necessary to blow up their own houses and the houses of their relatives.

But the main thing is to destroy the top leadership of the terrorist formations, in whatever cracks these insects hide.

It's difficult, but possible.



Kremlin Peskov on the reaction of the Russian Federation to the shelling of the Crimean bridge:

If we take the final perspective, the answer will be the achievement of the goals of a special military operation.


- Maxar satellite images show clear damage to the Crimean bridge after today's Ukrainian kamikaze USV strikes.


-FT:

Hundreds of thousands of US military emails were mistakenly sent to Mali (Russia's ally) due to a typo in the domain, some of which contained confidential information about employees.

Emails are often mistakenly sent with the domain name .ml, the country identifier for Mali, instead of .mil, which is used in US defense communications.


- A few hours before the attack on the Crimean Bridge, four high-speed objects located at a distance of 75 km southeast of Zmeiny Island fell into the lens of the European Sentinel satellite.

They were heading to the Crimean coast.

Presumably, it was these vehicles that attacked the Crimean bridge, or they were launched by UAV carriers.


- Ever since the "Komsomolskaya Pravda" published this infographic about how the Crimean bridge is guarded, the Crimean bridge was attacked twice.

Putin today demanded concrete proposals to improve the security of the Crimean bridge.

It is necessary to avoid strikes on civilian objects.

- From the Crimea to Russia, trucks will go practically through the war zone. There is no other option due to the undermining of the bridge

- Another Shiza

Russian President Putin seems to have launched a new meme, asking to say hello to everyone after the story about the dead in Ukraine. From the creators of "You stay here, all the best, good mood and health to you."

The whole dialogue sounded like this:

I.Kobzev: Yes, that's why we send you words of gratitude, support, and always know that we are on guard of the Motherland.

And the most important thing I would like to report. We have 192 citizens of Irkutsk awarded with state awards – orders, medals. Of these, the youngest, Hero of Russia, – this is Private Eduard Dyakonov, who died in Mariupol in March last year, he covered a grenade with his body, thereby saving his fellow soldiers. This is very valuable for us, for us they are all heroes, they are in our memory, in our hearts.

Vladimir Putin: Say hello to them all.

I. Kobzev: Absolutely.

The reason was his interview for Radio Liberty, in which he spoke about the war and protests.
