Both Ukraine and Russia are saying it. But yeah.
Ukraine attacked Crimean bridge with surface drones, Russia says
Ukraine attacked the Crimean bridge overnight using unmanned drones on the water surface, Russia's Anti-Terrorist Committee said on Monday, according to state media.www.reuters.com
Ukr secret service SBU now reported as claiming the attack to AFP press agency, using Naval drones.
If true, it's astonishing a country effectively without a Navy can conduct such an attack on what must be the most heavily defended piece of infrastructure under Russian control. I would have guessed storm shadow or sabotage.
Seems the Russian appetite for total incompetence is undimmed by 18 months of losing a war.
[edit: quote attributed to SBU from the Guardian Today’s attack on the Crimean bridge is a special operation of the SBU and the navy … It was difficult to reach the bridge, but in the end it was possible to do it.]
