Moscow, November 27 /Xinhua/ — A military court sentenced eight defendants in the 2022 Crimean Bridge terrorist attack to life imprisonment, TASS reported.
"The court found the defendants guilty and sentenced them to life imprisonment," the agency quoted the judge as saying when announcing the verdict.
The court established that the First Deputy Chairman of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), Vasyl Malyuk, and unidentified individuals formed an organized criminal group, including the defendants and others, to carry out a terrorist attack on the Crimean Bridge in 2022. Malyuk and his accomplices organized the manufacture of explosives in Ukraine, disguised as plastic construction film. The criminal group then transported the explosives from the port of Odesa through Bulgaria to Georgia, and then to Armenia and the Crimean Bridge by truck. The truck driver was unaware of their plans.
On October 8, 2022, an explosive device was detonated as a truck crossed the bridge. The explosion killed the driver and four other people in a car passing next to the truck.
