Russia has assured this Monday that it has thwarted a new attack by Ukraine with 28 drones against objects in the annexed Crimean peninsula, just one day after the attack carried out with unmanned naval vehicles against the Kerch bridge.

“Tonight an attempt by the Kiev regime to carry out a terrorist attack involving twenty-eight UAVs against objects on the territory of the Crimean peninsula was thwarted,” the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement.

The Kremlin has indicated that 17 drones were destroyed by Russian anti-aircraft defense and another 11 were suppressed using electronic warfare.

Defense has ensured that none of the drones reached its objective.

According to the department headed by Sergei Shoigu, there were no victims or material damage.

The Russian-imposed governor of Crimea, Sergei Axiónov, has again asked the locals and the thousands of tourists who come to the peninsula for the summer to remain calm and only trust reliable sources of information.

The attack came 24 hours after the “terrorist” attack with two Ukrainian surface maritime drones against the Kerch Bridge, better known as the Crimean Bridge, as it links the Ukrainian peninsula with mainland Russia over the Kerch Strait.

Russia has accused the Ukrainian secret services and “armed formations” of the attack, which has left two people dead, a couple from the Russian region of Belgorod, and a minor, their daughter, has been moderately injured.

A part of the roadway of the automobile section of the bridge, which runs parallel to the railway segment, has been completely destroyed in the direction of Taman, in the Krasnodar Territory, on the Russian mainland, while in the opposite direction the asphalt was displaced between 70 and 80 centimeters.

However, after the pertinent structural analyzes and load tests on this last section, which goes in the opposite direction from Taman to Kerch, traffic resumed this morning.
