Russia Ukraine War News | Key Bridge Linking Crimea To Russia Exploded | English News | News 18

The Kerch bridge from Russia to Crimea, a hated symbol of the Kremlin’s occupation of the southern Ukrainian peninsular and one of Vladimir Putin’s prestige projects, has been hit by a massive explosion.

Images from the bridge showed a fiercely burning fire engulfing at least two railway carriage from a train on the bridge, accompanied by a vast column of black smoke.

The explosion, which witnesses said could be heard kilometres away, took place around 6am on Saturday while a train was crossing the bridge, although it was not immediately clear what caused it.

Some images appeared to show a second fire at some distance from the main blaze. Later images also appeared to show that part of road bridge that runs parallel with the train tracks had collapsed.

The train bridge is on fire and the road has completely collapsed at 2 points into the sea, not an accident! My guess, this is Ukrainians birthday present for Pootin.

The video from the car is not true. Wrong time of day, wrong place. Other videos indicate it was a truck bomb coming from Russia to Ukraine.

[asdudpele]

As a result of immediate Russia investigation, Putin said that the cause of explosions💥 in Crimean bridge was accidental the missiles fired by Russia from Crimea to stop Ukraine's devastating Southern counter offensive took a 360° spin and hitting Crimean bridge instead of UKRAINIAN troops. 😂😂😂

[dlanoranole]

it was like hit by missile rather than explosion
