At least 3 killed in blast that destroyed parts of only bridge linking annexed Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea to Russia
“Air defense of the Russian Federation, are you sleeping?” Ukrainian officials respond to Kerch bridge explosionSurveillance footage from fixed cameras on the Kerch bridge shows the moment of a large explosion on the roadway, with some vehicles apparently caught in the blast on Saturday October 8.
Vadym Denysenko, an adviser to the Interior Minister, said that"the Kerch bridge is a key logistical link that connects Russia with Crimea, and then with the Kherson region. As of now, the Russians have officially announced that the Kerch bridge is closed." "A ferry crossing may partially solve the problem, but it depends on how many ferries they will launch and of what size. […] To do it all in one day or a few hours - it is almost unrealistic."Meanwhile, the Navy of the Armed Forces of Ukraine responded to the blast on Facebook, posting, “Air defense of the Russian Federation, are you sleeping?” alongside a video showing a section of the bridge’s road that had been completely destroyed.
