Russian air defense forces successfully shot down three Ukrainian missiles over the Crimean bridge connecting Moscow-annexed Crimea to mainland Russia. The Russian-installed governor of Crimea confirmed the interceptions, assuring that the bridge remained undamaged. The Russian Defense Ministry stated that Ukraine attempted to strike the bridge with anti-aircraft guided missiles and unmanned drones. Moscow condemned these actions and vowed that such attacks would not go unanswered. Tensions between Russia and Ukraine persist, with Crimea being a focal point of contention.
