At around 6 a.m. local time on October 8, local time, the Kerch Strait Bridge, which connects Crimean Peninsula, was blown up and collapsed. A railway oil tanker was driving on the railway bridge exploded and caught fire. The highway bridge was blown up, and two bridge decks fell into the sea one after another.
On October 9, Russian Investigation Commission Chairman Bastrekin reported to Russian President Putin the investigation into the Crimea Bridge explosion, saying that the Crimea Bridge explosion was a terrorist attack. It was planned by Ukrainian agents and received assistance from foreign and Russian citizens.
After the explosion of the Kerch Strait Bridge in Crimea, the Russian Investigation Committee quickly investigated and determined the route of the truck that had occurred, and the carrier was also confirmed. With the help of Russian Federal Security Bureau , the Russian Investigation Committee has identified the suspect.
Russian side released the name and address of the owner involved in the explosion truck. However, the owner of the car named Samir Yusupov from Krasnodar Krai , Krasnodar Krai, was anxious. He urgently posted a video saying that he is now abroad and the incident has nothing to do with him.
Although the truck is registered under his name, the actual owner and operator is his uncle, the driver who drove the truck when the bridge exploded, named Mahir Yusupov.
Russian media just released the details of the investigation of the Crimea Bridge explosion, which may be detailed information obtained from the Russian Investigation Commission. The driver may not know that the mysterious cargo owner has disappeared. The driver drove onto the bridge without knowing it, and after getting on the bridge, he was detonated remotely at the booked location. It just so happened that a railway oil tanker was driving over the railway bridge...
The explosion on the bridge was a load-load truck with a red front and white carriage. The driver was Mahir Yusupov. On October 6, he received an order on the All-Russian freight trading website. A company called "ТЭК-34" commissioned the shipment of a batch of rubber product packaging materials, with a total weight of 21 tons.
On October 7, Yusupov drove a truck to a warehouse in Almaville, Krasnodar Krai, as promised, which is about 400 kilometers away from the Kerch Strait Bridge in Crimea. After the loading of
, Yusupov set off for Crimea. On the way, the cargo owner kept urging the truck driver to arrive at Simferopol, the capital of Crimea, on time at 10:00 on October 8.
According to the time requirement proposed by the cargo owner, Yusupov drove his truck to the Demlukski area of the Taman Peninsula on the east side of the Kerch Strait Bridge at 23 pm on October 7, and then he slept for about 6 hours. Before 6 a.m. on October 8, Yusupov drove his truck onto the Kerch Strait Bridge in Crimea, and then an explosion occurred on the bridge. The owner of the cargo ship turned off his phone after the explosion and is now missing.
This large box truck exploded (from Russia to Crimea), collapsed the bridge deck, and then the big explosion caused a fire in the oil tanker truck on the railway bridge where the road bridge was connected. The timing is just right.
There is also a surveillance camera showing that the white truck was detected by explosives when passing the bridge security check. The inspectors also unboxed the box for inspection, but did not find any suspicious items. This shows that the truck is likely to be loaded with "normal" goods, and the "normal goods" that can explode are very likely to be ammonium nitrate type fertilizer. After the detonation of
2 tons of ammonium nitrate fertilizer, its power equivalent is equivalent to nearly 1 ton of TNT explosives, which is enough to collapse the bridge deck of the bridge and ignite the oil tanker truck on the railway bridge next to it. The 2020 Lebanon Beirut port explosion occurred, and a ship carrying 2,700 tons of ammonium nitrate fertilizer exploded to the entire port.
It is very likely that this is a very complex explosion attack plan. It is very likely that the driver of the truck did not know that there were explosives in the container. For example, a customer hired him to ship a truck of ammonium nitrate fertilizer to Crimea. When loading, the ammonium nitrate and the detonation device were hidden (it could be done very small, and a grenade was enough to detonate a truck of ammonium nitrate), and then successfully passed the security check on one side of the bridge, and then was remotely detonated on the bridge. From a technical operational perspective alone, this can be regarded as one of the most successful special operations since World War II.
