A Truck Bomb Explodes on the Bridge Linking Russia and Crimea

A truck bomb exploded on the Crimean bridge, setting fire to a number of fuel tanks in one of the trains and disrupting traffic on the bridge. Footage of the bridge showed the railway line burning along dozens of meters and a collapsed part of the road.

Russian news agencies reported that rail and road traffic was stopped after the accident, and ferries were operated to cross. Later, the authorities in Crimea announced the resumption of car traffic on the bridge a few hours after the explosion.

Ukraine has not claimed responsibility for the explosion, but several Ukrainian officials commented on what happened and announced their intention to issue a postage stamp to celebrate it.
