New satellite imagery showing block ships in the area of the Kerch Bridge illegally built by the Russian occupiers has appeared online. With their help, the Russians probably want to protect the crossing from Ukrainian naval drones.

“Russia has been placing block ships across the western approaches to Kerch Bridge, following Ukrainian USV attack. Reports suggest these are sunken ferries,” OSINT analyst H I Sutton posted on X (formerly known as Twitter).

As reported, according to preliminary data, around 04:00 on July 17, a section of the Kerch Bridge collapsed following an explosion.

The attack on the Crimean Bridge, as a result of which car traffic was completely stopped, could worsen the logistics of the Russian invaders in the south of Ukraine during the counteroffensive actions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
