London – The Ukraine Security Service (SBU) said Tuesday having made a new attack against the Kerch narrow bridge of Russia, which links Crimea with the Krasnodar Krai region of Russia, two days after the dramatic strike of non -manned airplanes of the service in the strategic fleet of Russian bombings.
The SBU published a video, photography and declaration to its official Telegram channel detailing the operation, which said “lasted several months.”
“SBU agents extracted the support of this illegal installation,” said the statement. “And today, without civil victims, at 4:44 am the first explosive device was activated.”
“The underwater supports of the docks were severely damaged at the lower level: 1,100 kg of explosives in equivalent TNT contributed to this,” said the SBU. “In fact, the bridge is in a state of emergency.”
The head of SBU, Vasyl Malyuk, said in a statement: “Previously, we arrived at the Crimea bridge twice in 2022 and 2023. Then, today we continue this tradition underwater.”

Meanwhile, at least seven people died and 27 were injured in Ukraine during the night until Tuesday, since Russia continued long -range attacks against multiple cities, local officials said.
The Ukraine Air Force said that it registered 112 Russian drones launched into the country during the night, 75 of which were demolished or neutralized in flight. The Air Force reported impacts on 11 locations throughout the country.
Most of the reported deaths were grouped into two regions of the northeast of Ukraine, near the front lines.
Three people were killed and 20 were injured by a Russian rocket attack in the group against the city of Sumy, local authorities said. At least five rockets landed in open areas of the city center, said the regional administration of Sumy, even along a busy road full of cars and morning travelers.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a publication to social networks that the “wild strike” was a “totally deliberate attack against civilians.”

Three other people died and six were injured in the Jharkiv region as a result of Russian bombing, said the Regional Military Administration.
A person was killed and 13 were injured by the Russian fire in the southern region of Kherson, said Oleksandr Prokudin, head of the local military administration.
According to the officials, five people were also injured by strikes in the city of northern Chernihiv and another five in the city of Odeesa de la Costa del Mar Negro del Sur.
In his Tuesday morning message, Zelenskyy said that the ongoing Russian attacks indicate that Russian President Vladimir Putin does not have a genuine interest in La Paz, despite the participation of Kremlin in the ongoing conversations in the United States to end his 3 -year invasion.
The Ukrainian and Russian representatives gathered in Istanbul, Türkiye, on Monday for a second round of direct negotiations, the two parties had previously met in the city for the first round in May. This meeting allowed the first peace -to -to -to -face conversations between both sides from the spring of 2022.
Ukraine demands a full fire of 30 days during which peace negotiations may take place. Zelenskyy also said before Monday’s meeting that kyiv wants the release of all the prisoners and the return of Ukrainian children taken by force to Russia during the invasion of Moscow. Zelenskyy also suggested direct future conversations with Putin.
In a “Peace Memorandum” delivered to the Ukraine Negotiation Team on Monday, Russia established maximalist demands similar to those issued during the first days of its spring invasion 2022.
Among the demands are a Ukrainian withdrawal of the four Ukrainian regions affirmed by Russia, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, Donetsk and Luhansk, including the areas that Russian troops do not occupy. Moscow said that the fire would accept a stop if Ukraine agreed to stop receiving foreign weapons and end the mobilization, two demands that kyiv has rejected.
Moscow also requires limitations on the size of the Ukrainian armed forces, a permanent block in the adhesion of Ukrainian NATO, the international recognition of Russian control over the areas of Ukraine that states, the lifting of all sanctions and Ukraine to abandon its demand for war repairs by Moscow.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists on Tuesday that there was no significant advance during Monday’s conversations. “It would be a mistake to expect immediate decisions or advances here,” he said. “But work is ongoing.”
A meeting between Putin, Zelenskyy and President Donald Trump “is unlikely in the near future,” Pekov continued.
Dmitry Medvedev, former Russian president and prime minister, now serves as vice president of the country’s security council, wrote on Telegram that conversations “are not destined to achieve a peace commitment based on some imaginary and unrealistic conditions invented by others, but rather to ensure our rapid victory and complete destruction” of the Zelenskyy government.
Zelenskyy said Tuesday that it is “obvious: without global pressure, without decisive actions of the United States, Europe and all in the world that have the power, Putin will not agree even in the high fire.”
“A single day does not happen without Russia hitting the Ukrainian cities and towns,” the president continued.
“Every day, we lose our people for Russian terror. Every day, Russia gives new reasons for harder sanctions and stronger support for our defense. I am grateful to all those who are in the world who promote exactly this agenda: penalties for aggression and murder of people, and help to defend the lives of Ukrainians.”

Ukraine continued his own long -range strike campaign in Russia during the night. The Ministry of Defense in Moscow said its forces knocked down eight Ukrainian drones on Monday night until Tuesday morning.
The Conversations of Istanbul on Monday were held despite the bold covert operation of Ukraine aimed at the Russian strategic bombers on Sunday, in which the hidden drones in the rear trucks attacked at least five airfields in the Russian territory.
Zelenskyy told the main correspondent of ABC News, Martha Raddatz, that the attack was a “strategic operation” that “is definitely reducing Russia’s potential and demonstrates that Ukraine is working in certain steps.”
“Unless they stop, we will continue,” he said.
When asked if he was satisfied with the participation of the Trump administration, Zelenskyy told Raddatz: “We are looking for very strong steps by President Trump to support the sanctions and force President Putin to stop this war, or at least proceed with the first stage of ending this war, that is the stop the fire.”
