Serhiy Aksionov, the so-called “head” of Crimea occupied by the Russian Federation, said that an “extraordinary event” had occurred on the Crimean bridge, connecting Crimea to Russia. Therefore, car traffic on the bridge was stopped. He also claimed that the railway connection by the bridge would resume its work at 9 am.

Russian Telegram channel Baza reports that at least one section of the bridge fell, and at least two people died. According to another Russian telegram channel Astra, locals heard two explosions before the section of the bridge fell.

So far, Russian authorities haven’t officially spoken about the cause of the damage.
