Ukraine Attack Shuts Kerch Bridge After Plans Leaked

Source: Newsweek

Russian authorities in Crimea closed a vital crossing between the Russian mainland and the peninsula after Moscow accused Kyiv of launching dozens of drones at the territory overnight.

Traffic crossing the Crimean Bridge, also known as the Kerch Bridge, was "temporarily blocked" in the early hours of Sunday, according to local Telegram channels.

Russia's Defense Ministry said early on Sunday that Ukraine had targeted Crimea with 38 airborne drones in an overnight attack. Russian air defense systems downed all of the incoming drones, Moscow said. It did not specify where the uncrewed vehicles were shot down, nor whether there was any damage.

Several anonymous Telegram channels had reported explosions close to the eastern Crimean port city of Feodosia early on Sunday. The city is approximately 100 kilometers from the Kerch Bridge.

Which invariably causes someone to say it has been struck when it is just cover.

They close the bridge and turn on the smoke whenever drones or missiles are over crimea.
