– Since this was a logistical route for the enemy that we had to cut, appropriate measures were taken, says Vasyl Malzhuk, head of the Ukrainian Security Service SBU, in an interview with Ukrainian journalist Dmytro Komarov on Saturday.
He did not give any details about the operation.
The bridge over the Kerch Strait connects Russia with occupied Crimea, and therefore is of strategic importance for the Russians. On October 8 last year, parts of the bridge were destroyed in a powerful explosion that claimed the lives of three people.
The explosion occurred a day after Russian President Vladimir Putin turned 70.
The Russian authorities were quick to accuse Ukraine of being behind it, but Ukraine has so far refused to admit it.
