Russian officials reported that on the evening of September 1, a maritime drone attempted to attack the Kerch Strait Bridge connecting the occupied peninsula to mainland Russia.

This was reported by Russia’s Ministry of Defense, Ukrinform saw.

"On September 1, at around 23:15, the Kyiv regime attempted a terrorist attack on the Crimea Bridge using a semi-submersible unmanned boat," the report says.

The occupiers said that the maritime drone was "detected and destroyed in time" in the Black Sea.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, explosions and gunfire rang out near the Starokrymskyi training ground and the airfield in Kirovsk on Thursday.
