MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The Security Service of Ukraine has implicitly admitted its involvement in organizing the pre-dawn attack on the Crimean Bridge, which left two people dead and one child seriously injured.
On Monday, a spokesperson for the Ukrainian military intelligence department, Andrei Yusov, commented on the Crimean Bridge incident, quoting the agency's head, Kirill Budanov, who stated that "this structure is unnecessary". RBC-Ukraine, citing a source in the Security Service of Ukraine, reported that the terror attack on the Crimean Bridge was a special operation conducted by the Security Service of Ukraine and the Ukrainian Navy, using surface drones.
The Security Service of Ukraine, known as the SBU, responded to the incident on its Telegram channel by publishing a modified excerpt from a Ukrainian folk song: "Nightingale, dear brother, the bridge has fallen asleep again."
"This is folk music, and the lyrics are from the Security Service," the SBU posted on its Telegram channel.
Alexei Goncharuk, a member of the Ukrainian parliament, called the incident, which left two people dead, and a child injured on the Crimean Bridge, a "victory for Ukraine" and demanded that those involved be awarded the highest state honors.
