The Kerch Bridge lost a span and stopped functioning normally early in the morning on July 17.

"The call of the Crimean governor Aksyonov to "use the territory of the new regions" looks ridiculous. The Goblin himself is known not to leave the premises, which are under heavy security."
Although last week Emmanuel Macron announced the supply of long-range SCALP missiles to Ukraine, the Russians claim that the bridge was attacked by surface drones packed with explosives. It is worth recalling that last fall, a powerful explosion was heard on the Kerch Bridge, for which the Ukrainian Security Service actually claimed responsibility. It is obvious that this attack was organized with its participation, as the special service has repeatedly announced developments in the use of maritime drones.
