The Crimean Bridge has been targeted by Ukraine on a number of occasions. One of the recent attacks took place on July 17 and involved sea drones that killed a couple who were driving across the bridge when it was hit. Their teenage daughter was injured.
The Russian Armed Forces have destroyed a drone boat that tried to attack the Crimean Bridge, the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement.
"On September 1, at about 23:15 Moscow time, the Kiev regime attempted to deliver a terrorist strike on the Crimean Bridge with a semi-submersible unmanned boat. The Ukrainian naval drone was detected and destroyed in the Black Sea in time," the ministry said.
According to a response center, traffic on the bridge has been temporarily suspended.
Two additional attempted strikes against the bridge were also foiled by Russian forces, the Defense Ministry confirmed.
