car and bus traffic would have partially resumed on the destroyed bridge

A freight train engulfed in flames and part of the causeway collapsed into the Black Sea. The Crimean bridge was attacked on Saturday October 8. A few minutes earlier, surveillance cameras on the bridge filmed the explosion. The Russian authorities evoke a truck bomb and advance a balance sheet of at least three dead. Very quickly, military investigators and men from the intelligence services were dispatched to the scene. In the sights of the Russian authorities, the Ukrainian enemy, described again this morning as a “terrorist”, is suspected of being behind the attack. Because this bridge is a symbolic axis: it allows Russia to have direct access to Crimea, a peninsula annexed in 2014 by Moscow.

The work was inaugurated with great fanfare by Vladimir Putin in 2018 who, for the occasion, even got behind the wheel of a truck. Since the start of the war, the bridge has become even more strategic. It allows the Russians to bring fighters and equipment to the front. On Saturday morning in kyiv, Ukrainians rejoice and pose proudly in front of a stamp celebrating the explosion on the bridge. Ukrainian authorities do not claim responsibility for the attack. An adviser to President Volodymyr Zelensky even blames the Russians by citing internal struggles, but he still welcomes the explosion. According to the Kremlin and the images of a Russian press agency, the traffic of cars and buses would have resumed on the Crimean bridge.
