A Ukrainian brigade released video Saturday, purporting to show a dawn assault on Russian defensive lines near #Bakhmut in eastern #Ukraine.

#Russia said early Saturday that it had thwarted a naval drone attack on a bridge that links the Russian mainland with the Crimean Peninsula.

In messages posted to Telegram, the Russian Defense ministry said three semisubmersible unmanned boats, "sent by the Kyiv regime to carry out a terrorist attack on the Crimean bridge," had been destroyed in the Black Sea – one late Friday and two early Saturday.

The bridge was built after Russia illegally annexed Crimea in 2014. Completed in 2018, the bridge has been targeted throughout Russia's invasion of Ukraine, including an attack in July that caused major damage to the bridge and killed two people.

Ukraine claimed responsibility for the July strike but has so far not commented on Russia's claim it prevented another attack.
