UKRAINE has blasted Vladimir Putin's prized $1billion Crimean Bridge with underwater explosives in another daring attack.
The explosion comes just days after Ukraine executed Operation Spiderweb and wiped out Russia's bomber fleet.

According to Ukrainian media, the SBU planted the bomb at Putin's beloved bridge months ago.
The operation has reportedly caused "significant structural damage".
Ukraine's SBU said that the first blast rocked the bridge at 4:44am local time.
They said that they "severely damaged underwater support pillars", using some 1,100kg of explosives.
No civilian casualties have been reported yet.
The operation was personally overseen by the head of the SBU, Lieutenant General Vasyl Maliuk.
It comes after Ukraine's SAS-style strike against four airfields deep inside Russia - reminiscent of the most daring raids of the WW2 that turned the tide against the Nazis.
Volodymyr Zelensky oversaw Operation Spiderweb - much like Winston Churchill did as Britain struck deep behind enemy lines.
Putin's doomsday bomber fleet is now crippled with 41, or a third, of his most prized aircraft lying in smouldering wrecks on tarmac.
Ukraine said the sneak attack was worth $7bn (£5.2bn) in damage to Russia - caused by only 117 cheaply made drones.
