The Russian President has called Saturday's attack on Kerch Bridge a 'terrorist act'
Russian President Vladimir Putin has called the attack on the Kerch Bridge to Crimea a "terrorist act" carried out by Ukrainian special forces, Russian media outlets are reporting.
The bridge linked Russia to the Crimean peninsula, and was a key supply route for the Kremlin's war efforts in Southern Ukraine. Russian authorities say a truck bomb caused the blast, which the Investigative Committee sat was owned by a resident of the Krasnodar region. Investigators arrived at his home and have been looking at the truck's route and details around the vehicle.
He did appear to cast it as a consequence of Moscow’s takeover of Crimea. David Arakhamia, leader of the Servant of the People party, wrote on Telegram: “Russian illegal construction is starting to fall apart and catch fire. The reason is simple: if you build something explosive, then sooner or later it will explode."
