Ukraine claims years of secret sabotage in Crimea; rail bridge hit

Ukrainian forces have been systematically dismantling Russia’s military infrastructure in occupied Crimea for years, according to military officials. The latest attack targeted a rail bridge near the town of İçki, a key supply route used to move troops and equipment across the peninsula. The bridge was a vital link for Russian forces, feeding soldiers and ammunition to front-line positions. Ukrainian officials describe the operation as part of a long-term campaign to weaken what Moscow once called its “fortress” in the Black Sea. No official casualty figures have been released, and Russia has not confirmed the extent of the damage. The attack underscores ongoing Ukrainian efforts to disrupt Russian logistics without direct confrontation on the ground.
