TWO Russian ships were damaged in an impressive Ukrainian blitz overnight in occupied Crimea, it has been claimed.
Kyiv’s forces launched missiles near Vlad’s beloved Kerch Bridge – reportedly sparking some 20 explosions.

A car and railway ferry were apparently damaged by missile debris.
Russia was forced to admit it came under attack – claiming it shot down eight long-range ATACMS rockets used by Ukraine.
Vlad’s crony in the region – Nikolai Lukashenko – said the entire ferry line in Kerch was suspended following the attack.
He also said Russian forces had to fend off eight drones.
The Crimean Bridge was closed down to traffic.
Local Telegram channels reported that Kerch residents heard up to 20 blasts.
Tactical hits by Kyiv in the annexed peninsula have long been a point of humiliation for Putin – who first invaded Crimea in 2019.
Russian authorities said “vehicle traffic on the Crimean Bridge is temporarily blocked” around 7.30 am this morning local time.
They use the bridge – and the transport ferries – to transport military kit over to Russian troops in southern Ukraine.
