According to eyewitnesses, two strong explosions were heard on the Bridge. Windows were broken in houses several kilometers away.
Ukrainian telegram channels report that two explosions have been committed. Explosives were planted in the train and in one of the cars traveling over the Bridge.
The blocking of the Crimean Bridge, 19 km long, creates serious problems for the supply of the Russian armed forces which are located in the Crimea itself, and are also fighting in the south of Ukraine (Kherson). -02B-
