Quote: "A floating crane is visible in the waters of the Kerch Strait. 

Witnesses claim that the number of barges Russia is using to protect the Kerch Bridge from Ukrainian naval drones has increased."

Details: The day before, Brady Africk, an analyst in the Foreign and Defense Policy Research Department at the American Enterprise Institute, reported, based on satellite images, that Russian authorities are continuing to increase the number of barges near the Kerch Bridge for its protection. 

At the end of June, it was reported that the Russians had installed a second line of booms near the Kerch Bridge with 21 barges. Additionally, it appears that piers are being installed near the foundation of the Kerch Bridge.
