Breaking News: Traffic on the bridge connecting Crimea to Russia's mainland — a key supply route for Russian troops — has been halted amid reports of explosions. News reports said local residents heard explosions before dawn.
Russian-appointed authorities in Crimea say the military has fended off a Ukrainian strike on a main naval base, while an exploding drone was also reportedly found in a forest near Moscow.The extent of the damage was not immediately clear, but Governor Sergei Aksyonov said he expected rail traffic on the bridge to resume within several hours.
The 19-kilometer bridge that was opened in 2018 is the main land connection between Russia and the Crimean peninsula. The bridge that spans the Kerch Strait was damaged in October by a truck bomb and required months of repairs before resuming full service. The bridge carries both road and rail traffic and is an important supply artery for Russia’s war in Ukraine.
