Russian security forces thwart a Ukrainian plot to blow up the Crimean Bridge
The Russian Federal Security Service announced that it had thwarted a new attempt by the Ukrainian Security Service to detonate a high-powered explosive device inside a vehicle on the Crimean Bridge.
The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) said in a statement: “A car loaded with a high-explosive improvised explosive device (IED) arrived in Russia from Ukraine via several countries… It crossed the Russian-Georgian border and was supposed to head to the Krasnodar Territory”.
The statement added, “The car bomb was later to be handed over to another driver, who was supposed to drive it to Crimea via the Crimean Bridge ‘to unknowingly become a suicide bomber,’ which the Kyiv regime planned to use ‘in secret'”.
He continued, “Despite all the tricks of the Ukrainian terrorists, Russian Federal Security Service officers were able to quickly uncover their plans, identify and dismantle the explosive device, which was carefully hidden in a Chevrolet Volt, and arrest all those involved in its delivery to our country”.
Kyiv previously attempted a suicide car bombing on the Crimean Bridge in April 2025, and the explosives were seized in Belarus on their way from Poland.
