Ukraine's SBU security service claimed responsibility for a large underwater explosion targeting the Kerch Bridge connecting Crimea to Russia, severely damaging its supports. This follows a drone attack on Russian bombers and is the third Ukrainian strike on the bridge. The attack, using over a ton of TNT equivalent, is viewed as a significant blow to Russian logistics. Meanwhile, Russia accused Ukraine of terrorism after weekend railway bridge attacks and dismissed hopes for a quick breakthrough in peace talks, while Ukraine's Zelenskyy welcomed the invitation to the NATO summit.
