  2. Ukrainians hit some part of Crimea almost every other day now. It seems.

    Even if the strikes do not do much damage it forces Putin to keep committing troops and resources to Crimea where they will be trapped if Ukraine takes the land bridge and takes down the Kerch Bridge.

    It also keeps a lot of Crimean occupiers moving out, and keeps the Black Sea Fleet out of Sevastopol too.


    Russians report explosions in Sevastopol

    "Residents of Sevastopol are reporting loud explosions over the city. The air defence system was preliminarily activated," they added.

    According to Shot, at least two strong explosions were heard in the area of Sevastopol Bay.

    Later, the information about the explosions in Sevastopol was confirmed by the occupation authorities of the city.

    "Air defence forces and the navy are repelling an attack by enemy UAVs on Sevastopol over the sea near the town of Khersones, in the area of Sevastopol Bay and Balaklava," Razvozhayev said.

    Speaking of the Crimean bridge (the Kerch bridge)

    Two "incidents" just now. One destroyed a bridge span. The other damaged a support and moved a bridge span. Bridge is closed.

  9. "Emergency" they said. With explosions. Possibly someone's tire blew on the bridge.

    :cool:


    Traffic stopped on Crimean Bridge due to 'emergency' - Russian-backed governor

    (Reuters) - Traffic was stopped at the Russian-built Crimean Bridge linking the Crimean peninsula to the Russian region of Krasnodar due to "an emergency" situation, Russia-installed Governor Sergei Aksyonov wrote on the Telegram messaging app early on Monday.

    Aksyonov did not provide any further detail.

    The RBC-Ukraine news agency reported that explosions were heard on the bridge.

    For Russia to admit that Ukrainians managed, at 150+ miles or so (I think) to hit one (or two) of the bridge supports is a big embarrassment. That is why they are not specifying a cause.

    BTW - since two explosions were reported, one at 3am, one at 3:15am, there were at least two attacks.
