Off the coast of the temporarily occupied Crimea, along the Crimea bridge, the Russians have been spotted placing metal drone traps into the sea.

The traps are brought on barges and pontoons before they are put in water using a floating crane, the Crimean Wind Telegram channel reports, according to Ukrinform.

"The invaders continue to put traps in the strait along the Crimea bridge," the report reads.

The metal structures are manufactured at the Zatoka Plant, according to the civic watchdog.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, the Russians are erecting an unidentified protective structure for the Crimea bridge.
