As reported, work on the surface defense of the bridge illegally built by Russia began on May 7, 2024, and continues to this day.
The Russians are creating an echeloned system of boom barriers to protect against attacks by Ukrainian naval drones.
Earlier, Ukrinform reported that new boom barriers were being built on the Kerch Bridge.
