| Subject: Video shows mystery 'wave' under Crimea bridge just before it was blown to smithereens: Speculation grows that Ukraine used a boat or explosive-laden drone Sat Oct 08, 2022 4:18 pm | |
| A mysterious 'wave' which appeared under the bridge between Russia and occupied Crimea moments before it was blown up has fuelled speculation that Ukrainian special services used a boat or explosive-laden drone to launch an attack that has damaged Putin's supply lines.
Moscow furiously claimed a truck bomb caused the blast which killed at least three people but did not apportion blame - while the speaker of Crimea's Kremlin-backed regional parliament accused Kyiv of being behind the explosion which took place early this morning, just hours after Putin's 70th birthday.
Putin responded to the embarrassing attack by ordering tightened security at the bridge.
In a decree issued hours after the bridge was damaged by a blast, Putin said the FSB security service would be responsible for strengthening protection measures.
Dramatic new footage shows the blast rocking the Kerch Bridge and causing its partial collapse, in yet another humiliation for Moscow as its forces retreat from occupied southern and eastern Ukraine amid a sweeping counter-offensive by Volodymyr Zelensky's troops. The Kremlin had claimed the bridge, which was opened personally Putin in 2018 to much fanfare in Russian-state media, was being protected by a maximum security operation which even included attack dolphins.
