False Claims: No Ukrainian Strike on Crimean Bridge in October 2025
Social media has been abuzz with claims of a recent strike on the Crimean Bridge by Ukraine's forces. However, a closer look reveals these claims to be false. The photos shared as evidence were not taken in 2025 but earlier. One image was published by Reuters on October 8, 2022. Neither Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) nor Ukrainian media have reported any such strike in 2025. The last confirmed SBU strike on the bridge occurred on June 3, 2025. Claims circulating online that Ukraine's Defense Forces blew up the bridge on October 19, 2025, are baseless. The anonymous Telegram channel encouraging users to visit for details contains no relevant information and is spam, with headlines designed to boost engagement rather than provide accurate news. Investigations into the source of these false claims are ongoing. As of now, there is no credible evidence to support the notion that the Crimean Bridge was struck by Ukrainian forces in 2025.
