The Russian government has confirmed that the bridge linking Russia to Crimea has partially been reopened a day after it was attacked, stating that Vehicles will use a single lane of the bridge across the Kerch Strait.
Recall that, a holiday-making couple were killed and their daughter injured in the attack on the bridge which Russia blamed on seaborne drones launched by Ukraine.
Condemning the attack on the bridge as an act of terrorism against a critically important transport link, Russian President Vladimir Putin did however vow that the Russian military would respond.
Following that condemnation, Ukraine was attacked by a wave of Russian missiles overnight – including at the port of Odesa, with missile debris causing damage to the port and private homes, according to the state administration.
On the partial reopening of the bridge, Russia’s Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin posted a video on the Crimea Bridge which appeared to show cars crossing it at night. He added that he hoped two-way traffic could be restored by mid-September.
