Eight people have been detained over Saturday’s blast that damaged the only bridge connecting annexed Crimea with the Russian mainland, marking a critical juncture in Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine
. Russia’s Federal Security Service claimed the main intelligence department of the Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense, its head Kyrylo Budanov, and its employees and agents organized the “terrorist attack” on the Kerch Strait road-and-rail bridge, Russian state media RIA Novosti reported Wednesday.
It is a critical artery for supplying Crimea with both its daily needs and supplies for the military. Over the last few months, dozens of Russian military convoys have used the bridge, carrying vehicles, armor and fuel. Limited car and rail traffic has restarted on the bridge following the blast. However, larger vehicles like heavy trucks, vans and buses are traveling by ferry. Russian officials had earlier claimed the explosion was caused by a truck blowing up on the road bridge.
