Explosions heard in Dzhankoy, air raid siren in Sevastopol, Crimean Bridge closed

Monitoring channels write about the missile threat and the work of air defense. The Dzhankoy checkpoint is closed. There is a smoke screen over the Crimean Bridge.

Problem is Ukraine actually wants to not injure civilians unnecessarily.

Sure they could just launch whatever to the bridge and fuck it up. But without being able to at least reasonably claim to confirm they minimized civilian casualties, it’s a big risk.

If Russian has closed the bridge, then Ukraine should be good to go now, right? One drone with thermal imaging to confirm there’s no remaining vehicles on the bridge, then it’s bombs-away.

With a thick smoke noone will be crossing the bridge, so it’s safe to bomb.

(/s but not too muchI guess)

You’re forgetting that Ukraine has successfully attacked the bridge twice already.

In October 2022 a bomb on a truck detonated, causing 2 spans to collapse and killing 5.

In July 2023 two sea drones targeted the bridge & killed 2 & injured 1. The two killed were a husband & wife. The injured one was their child.

Traveling into a warzone… I mean yeah it sucks but mentioning they are a family is irrelevant.

The post I was responding to claimed the Ukrainians were trying to avoid civilian casualties. This clearly demonstrates that civilian casualties were involved.

True, though if you constantly cause civilian casualties you end up being in the same odor as Russia, or the us law enforcement.

Not really good look for a country needing the rest of the world’s assistance.
