The Russian insurance consortium estimates the damage following the Crimean bridge explosion on October 8 (local time) to be between 200 and 500 million rubles (3,2-8 million USD).

According to Russian media, at least three people were killed in the attack on the Crimean bridge, and the identity of the truck driver has also been confirmed.

Ukrainian presidential adviser Mikhail Podoliak said the attack on the Crimean bridge was just the beginning and Kyiv is ready to reclaim everything that belongs to Ukraine.

A major fire broke out on the Kerch Bridge, connecting the Crimean Peninsula with the Krasnodar region in southwestern Russia, following loud explosions around 6 a.m. this morning, October 8th.

Traffic by car and train on the Crimean Bridge has been suspended due to a fuel tank catching fire.

Kyiv claims to possess cruise missiles capable of destroying any Russian structure or warship.

The 19km-long bridge connecting the Crimean Peninsula with southern Russia, inaugurated by President Putin on May 15th and officially opened to traffic on May 16th, is the longest bridge in Europe.
