Head of the Security Service of Ukraine (the SBU) Vasyl Malyuk has acknowledged that Kiev is responsible for the attacks on the Crimean Bridge.
"Marine drones are a unique invention of the Security Service of Ukraine. None of the private companies are involved. Recently, with the help of these drones, we carried out a successful strike on the Crimean Bridge," Malyuk told CNN.
The SBU provided the news channel with a video of the July attack that shows the pilot's screen moments before the experimental Sea Baby drone delivered explosives to one of the bridge's concrete pillars.
The SBU also provided the broadcast with two videos that captured the moment the drone struck the road section of the bridge, and then, about five minutes later, another drone strike on the railroad section from the opposite direction. One of the videos also shows the drone striking a vessel, but the quality of the video does not make it possible to determine which.
