SSU agents planted explosives on the supports of this illegal structure. And today, without any civilian casualties, at 4:44 a.m., the first explosive device was activated! The underwater supports of the pillars were severely damaged at the seabed level \u2014 1,100 kg of explosives in TNT equivalent made this possible. As a result, the bridge is effectively in an emergency condition,&#8221; the statement reads.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"720\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1280 \/ 720;\" width=\"1280\" controls src=\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_9562.mp4\"><\/video><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Video: Security Service of Ukraine<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SSU Head Vasyl Maliuk personally oversaw the operation and coordinated its planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;SSU always follows through with its plans and never repeats itself.

There is no place for any illegal Russian structures on the territory of our state. That is why the Kerch Bridge is an entirely legitimate target, especially considering that the enemy used it as a logistical artery to supply its troops.
