CRIMEA ISOLATED – BRIDGE BLOWN TO SMITHEREENES

UKRAINE WAR

Did Zelenskyy send Putin a message via airmail?

Massive fireball that destroyed part of Russia-Crimea bridge seen in wild video

A stunning series of photos and videos shows the violent impact of the explosion that tore through Russia’s prized Kerch Strait bridge to Crimea early Saturday morning.

A moment later, flaming shrapnel and sparks could be seen raining down onto the roadway and into the water below.

The mysteriously powerful blast killed three people on the 12-mile bridge and caused a partial roadway collapse. The bridge is a major supply route for Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Russian authorities said a truck bomb caused the extensive damage — but Western demolitions experts cast doubt on the claim, speculating instead that a missile or water-borne explosives had been used against the span.
