„Au lovit cu drone marine”. Rusia acuză Ucraina pentru atacul asupra podului Kerci și anunță că deschide o anchetă pentru „acte de terorism”

Kremlinul acuză că două drone marine ucrainene au bombardat luni noaptea, 17 iulie, podul Kerci, care leagă Crimeea anexată de Rusia, și anunță că autoritățile ruse au deschis o anchetă pentru „act terorist comis de serviciile speciale ale Ucrainei”, potrivit CNN.

Potrivit Moscovei, atacul cu drone a fost efectuat la ora locală 03.05, iar părinții unei fete care treceau cu mașina cu pod au murit.

„La ora 3.05, două drone fără pilot ucrainene de la suprafața apei au efectuat un atac asupra podului din Crimeea. În urma actului terorist, componenta rutieră a podului din Crimeea a fost avariată. Doi adulți au fost uciși și un copil a fost rănit”, a transmis Comitetul Național Antiterorism al Rusiei, într-un comunicat.

Comisia rusă de Investigații a anunțat că a „deschis un dosar penal” în urma incidentului, în temeiul legislației referitoare la terorism.

„Potrivit anchetatorilor, în noaptea de 16 spre 17 iulie, una dintre tronsoanele podului Crimeea a fost avariată în urma unui act terorist comis de serviciile speciale ale Ucrainei. În cadrul cauzei penale au fost dispuse expertizele necesare. Anchetatorii identifică persoane din cadrul serviciilor speciale ucrainene și formațiunile armate implicate în organizarea și executarea acestei infracțiuni”, a transmis Comisia rusă de Investigații.

Anterior, informații apărute pe surse în presa ucraineană au indicat că drone marine ucrainene au lovit podul Kerci, atacul fiind pus la cale de Serviciul de Securitate al Ucrainei (SBU) şi Marina ucraineană.

„A fost greu să ajungem la pod, dar până la urmă am reuşit”, a spus un reprezentant al SBU, citat de Ukrinform și Pravda.

Incidentul a fost descris prima dată de oficialii din Crimeea drept o „urgenţă”, fără să fie oferite mai multe detalii. Mai târziu, șeful parlamentului din Crimeea, instalat de Rusia, a spus că podul a fost ținta unui atac pus la cale de „regimul terorist de la Kiev”.

Oficiali ucraineni nu au comentat oficial incidentul, până în acest moment.

Podul Kerci a fost construit la ordinul preşedintelui rus Vladimir Putin după ce Rusia a anexat peninsula ucraineană Crimeea în 2014 și reprezintă o rută-cheie de aprovizionare terestră pentru soldații ruși care luptă în Ucraina.
