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.
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.
