Did Killer Sea Drones Just Blow Up Putin’s Beloved Bridge?

The only bridge linking Russia to the occupied Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea was damaged by explosions on Monday in an act that Russian officials quickly blamed on Kyiv.

Traffic was halted across the 12-mile bridge over the Kerch Strait in the wake of the blasts in the early hours. Russia’s National Antiterrorism Committee (NAC) released a statement on Monday calling the incident a “terrorist attack” conducted by Ukraine’s fleet of marine drones and said a criminal case has been launched. They said two people were killed.

“At 03:05, two Ukrainian unmanned surface vehicles attacked the Crimean Bridge,” the NAC said. “As a result of the committed terrorist act, the road component of the Crimean bridge was damaged. Two adults were killed and one child was injured.”
