Russia says three people killed in Crimea bridge blast

A blast on the strategic road-and-rail bridge linking Russia and the Crimean peninsula on Saturday brought down sections of road taking traffic in one direction, damaging a crucial supply route for Russian forces in Ukraine.

The blast on the Kerch bridge, for which Russia did not immediately assign blame, prompted gleeful messages from Ukrainian officials but no direct claim of responsibility.

In a video message Aksyonov, the Crimea governor, said the repair work will start soon.

0:58 That double framed Putin picture in the background 😂

[wallychastain]

It needs to be hit again and again, until it is only good for a fishing pier.🐟

[eduardolouro]

I feel sorry for the innocent killed. But if wasn´t Pooteen starting this all, this could be another reality today.

[spookyroseanne]

Many innocent people have died in Ukraine more then 3 people.

[fernanmontevista]

That's a big success to Ukraine 's war effort. And i really feel sorry for those Russian civilians that are forced to be in Putin's war.

[StrangerThanFiction]

a message for you - Jesus Christ died for sinners, including you. Repent from your sin and ask God`s forgiveness or perish with the lost wicked world. ..

[sundarsingh]

Russia got hit where it matters the most.

[ricardomadleno]

Thats on you for invading Ukraine’s territory

[schlirf]

It was just a matter of time before this happened.

He's has a portrait of Putin framed and hung on his wall behind him. Weird, North Korea vibes.

[Moses]

Putin is really good at this whole pretending to be a military strategist and competent leader thing 🇺🇦🌻

[thomassuter]

I don't believe Russia a single statement anymore. Get out of Ukraine and give Belgorod back to them too. Get out of Moldova! Get out of where ever you are! Just get out ...

[alexhuntercdc]

The Crimea HQ better watch out for big truck nowadays 😂

[canadaphil]

Once Ukrainian forces liberate as far as Melitopol, that bridge will be under rocket and missile attack DAILY!
They just need to close the range a bit more. It is only a matter of time.

[christopherhogg]

The concrete supporting the railroad is toast. At the least, the 3 civilians weren't tortured before dying.

[nickluther]

Considering the blast damage is directional towards the train tracks and not just a big boom there is noway it was a truck bomb unless that truck jumped out of the water and slammed into the side of the bridge

[Thegobstopper]

Portugal will be delighted it has regained the title of the Longest Bridge in Europe again.

Hey this is Yuri Shevchenko on your drive at 5. You'll have big delays on the I-95 eastbound at the bay Bridge. More when we come back.
