What is known about the secret attack on the Crimean bridgeAs journalists managed to find out, in the summer of 2024, Ukraine damaged the Crimean bridge with longrange ATACMS missiles.According to their data, this secret operation was carried out as part of the Lunar Hail campaign, which was jointly developed by Ukraine and the United States.This operation involved strikes on Russian infrastructure in occupied Crimea.Initially, Washington did not allow Ukraine to attack the Crimean bridge with American missiles, but later agreed.
The ATACMS was planned to hit vulnerable areas of the bridge, and the naval drones would explode near the bridge piers, but the Russians strengthened the protection of the piers.
After that, the Ukrainian military proposed to attack only with ATACMS missiles.
American officials objected, arguing that the missiles would not give a reliable result, so it was necessary to either wait or abandon the strike.
However, when the attack did take place, the planned strike caused minimal damage to the facility.
