Vasyl Malyuk, SBU’s boss, supervised the entire operation, which was prepared over “several months.” And guarantees: “No illegal installation of the Russian Federation takes place in the territory of our country”
After the “Operation Pavutyna” on Sunday, this Tuesday there was another successful secret operation of Ukraine secret services, SBU. This time the targets were the pillars of the Kerch bridge that connects the Crimea Peninsula to Russia.
No, SBU himself explains that he performed a “new special operation and hit the Crimea Bridge for the third time – this time under water”.

Like “Operation Pavutyna”, this secret plan was also prepared for “several months.” “SBU agents undermined the pillars of this illegal facility,” explain the Ukrainian secrets, adding that “there were no civilians.”
The SBU, in the publication signed by Malyuk, explains that the pillars of the Kerch bridge were hit by 1,100 kg of TNT -like explosives and were “severely damaged” in the submerged infrastructure part.
“The first explosive ingenuity was activated at 4:44 am,” read the publication, ie the explosions occurred at 06:44 of Lisbon.
As in Sunday’s operation, Lieutenant General Vasyl Malyuk, SBU’s top chief, personally supervised the attack and coordinated all its execution.
This is the third Ukrainian attack against the Kerch Bridge, after those that occurred in 2022 and 2023. “No illegal installation of the Russian Federation takes place in the territory of our country,” says SBU, ensuring that they will continue with “this tradition under water.”
“Ponte da Crimea is an absolutely legitimate target, especially given that the enemy used it as a logistics artery to supply its troops,” he argues.
Vasyl Malyuk takes advantage of recent operational success to leave another warning to Russia: “Crimea is Ukraine and any manifestations of occupation will be the subject of our firm response.”
This secret attack occurs about 48 hours after 117 drones hidden inside civil trucks, which were in Russian territory, were remotely activated and destroyed several strategic bombers – among them – with nuclear capacity belonging to the Russian Air Force.
Kremlin has not yet commented on this attack, but the Russian authorities announced on Telegram the suspension of the road circulation on the bridge.
