On June 3, 2025, Ukraine’s SBU security service executed a significant operation, striking the 12-mile-long Crimean Bridge, also known as the Kerch Bridge, which connects Russia to the occupied Crimean peninsula. The attack involved 1,100 kilograms of underwater explosives, detonated early in the morning, damaging the bridge’s underwater pillars. This marked the third assault on the bridge since Russia’s 2022 invasion, following attacks in October 2022 and July 2023, both of which Russia repaired. The SBU stated the bridge is a key logistical route for Russian forces. Russian authorities reported that road traffic on the bridge resumed later that day. The operation followed Ukraine’s recent drone strikes on Russian air bases, showcasing its strategic efforts. Ukraine’s invitation to a NATO summit later in June was also confirmed, highlighting its ongoing international engagement.
