Recall that at night the Crimean authorities reported an “emergency” in the area of the 145th pillar of the Crimean bridge and the suspension of traffic on the bridge, as well as the ferry crossing, the details of the incident have not yet been disclosed. Residents of the peninsula and tourists were asked to choose an alternative overland route. The Ministry of Transport reported that there is damage to the roadway on the spans of the bridge from the Crimean side. “The structures of the spans themselves are on their supports,” the department noted.
Later, the NAC reported that the partial collapse of one span of the Crimean bridge was due to an attack by Ukrainian drones. A criminal case has been opened about the terrorist attack.
