Explosions on the Crimean Bridge: the consequences for the occupying forces
Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed that, as a result of the attacks on the Crimean Bridge, targets were hit both in Crimea and on the Ukrainian mainland. As a result of the explosions A widespread power cut occurred in Sevastopol, Alushta, Krasnoperekopsk, Armiansk and Nova Yalta. The President stated that strikes had been carried out against the occupiers’ military logistics, oil industry and air defences.
«I would like to thank the soldiers of the SBU, the SBS, the Main Intelligence Directorate and the Special Operations Forces for their successful work some 300 kilometres from the front line,» said Zelenskyy.
Among the targets hit were maritime logistics facilities used for oil transport in the Krasnodar region. In Kerch A fire is still burning at the “TES-Terminal” oil products transhipment and storage complex following the air strikes. Military logistics facilities, four radar stations belonging to the S-400 systems and two «Pantsir» systems have also been successfully targeted. These strikes underscore the effectiveness of the Ukrainian forces in their fight against the occupiers.
Impact on energy infrastructure
The blackout that has affected the occupied territories points to serious problems with Crimea’s energy infrastructure. The power cut was caused not only by explosions but also by the general instability resulting from attacks on strategic facilities. This could lead to further difficulties for the occupying forces in meeting their military needs.
The explosions on the Crimean Bridge and their consequences open up new prospects for Ukrainian forces in the war against the aggressor. Further actions may be aimed at increasing the pressure on the occupying forces remaining in Crimea.
