According to Russian and Ukrainian media, there were several explosions near the Crimean Bridge on Saturday night. Ukrainian media reported three explosions near the bridge connecting the Moscow-held Black Sea peninsula of Crimea and mainland Russia. The bridge should be completely darkened and closed to traffic. A representative of the Russian occupation administration in Crimea spoke on Telegram of an “active dangerous situation”.

An alleged Russian radio message to the ships in the Kerch Strait was also published on the Internet. It calls on all ships to be more vigilant in the event of an attack by air and sea drones. In Russian and Ukrainian Telegram channels there were suspicions that a drone could have hit a Russian tanker. The information could not be checked independently.

Ukraine has repeatedly attacked Russian naval ships and also the bridge to the Crimean peninsula in the Black Sea, which Russia illegally annexed. The country has been defending itself against Russian war of aggression for more than 17 months.
