On June 3, Kiev claimed a spectacular underwater attack on the Crimean Bridge, alleging combat divers planted a tonne of explosives under its supports. Western outlets like CNN, The Guardian, Sky News and many others rushed to repeat the story without verification.

In reality, no swimmers were involved. A Ukrainian underwater drone struck a deflection ring — a protective structure — causing only minor damage to fencing. The clip above shows exactly that. A second drone later hit a protective barge. Both, the fencing and the yacht did exactly what they were designed to do: absorb impact and protect the bridge.

There was no structural damage, no casualties, and no reason for the media frenzy — except to serve Kiev’s constant need for symbolic “victories.” Traffic was paused briefly as a precaution and resumed within hours.

This was not an attack — it was an information stunt. And once again, Western media played along.
