Russia’s Defense Ministry announced on Tuesday that a terrorist attempt by the Ukrainian forces on Crimea using 28 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) was thwarted, which comes in the wake of news that Ukraine had been behind the terrorist attack on the Crimean Bridge yesterday. 

According to the ministry, Russian forces executed high-precision strikes on objects in Odessa where unmanned boats were being prepared by Ukraine against Russia, and their places of their manufacturing were also destroyed.

In retaliation, naval-based weapons were used to destroy fuel storage facilities in the areas of Odessa and Nikolaev, with a total volume of almost 70 thousand tons which supply Ukraine's military with fuel.

The MoD confirmed that fires and detonations were recorded, and all targets were destroyed.

Earlier, Crimea head Sergey Aksyonov, relayed on Telegram that a drone attack on Crimea’s east area had been dodged.

This retaliatory move comes after two people were killed and a child was injured in an "emergency" incident that took place on the Crimean Bridge early Monday while traffic was halted awaiting damage repairs.

In response, Russian President Vladimir Putin said "Of course, there will be a response from Russia. The defense ministry is preparing relevant proposals". 

"I am waiting for specific proposals to improve the security of this strategic, important transport facility", he added.
