In a bold move, Ukraine attacked the Crimea Bridge. This bridge links the contested Crimean Peninsula with mainland Russia. Ukraine acted after a large drone strike shook Russia. This new assault starts a fresh chapter in the conflict.
On the morning of June 3, 2025, strong explosions hit the Kerch Strait Bridge. This bridge stands as a symbol of Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014. The Ukraine Security Service said the attack was planned with care. Years of secret work helped place explosives on underwater supports. The SBU noted that about 1,100 kg of TNT exploded. The blasts damaged the bridge’s support pillars. Soon after the blast, traffic stopped, then the bridge reopened a few hours later. Russian authorities showed strategic strength despite the chaos.
This strike is Ukraine’s third major attack on the Crimean bridge since the invasion began in 2022. Earlier attacks underlined the bridge’s role as both a supply route for Russian forces and a symbol of occupation. Lt. Gen. Vasyl Maliuk, head of Ukraine’s Security Service, said the bridge is illegal on Ukrainian soil. He promised that Ukraine will use military force to fight the occupation.
The drone strike came just after a daring mission against Russia’s bomber fleet. This operation, planned over 18 months, moved deep into Russian territory. It damaged key bombers like the Tu-95 and Tu-160. Many military experts now view these strikes as a turning point. They see them as proof of new strength in Ukrainian forces. Some Russian military bloggers compared the event to a “Pearl Harbor” moment and called for a tough counterstrike.
Tensions grow as Russia hits Ukrainian cities. The conflict has become fiercer. Officials from both sides met in Istanbul to discuss prisoner exchanges, though little progress was made toward lasting peace. Now, future talks might demand territorial concessions—conditions many see as impossible for Ukraine to accept.
In this difficult time, war continues with no clear end. The impact of these drone strikes and the stalled peace talks may shape what happens next. For both nations, every military and diplomatic move matters on a fast-changing battlefield.
