The Ukrainian Defense Ministry appeared to celebrate an explosion that destroyed the Kerch Bridge linking Russia to the Crimean Peninsula on Saturday morning.
"The guided missile cruiser Moskva and the Kerch Bridge — two notorious symbols of Russian power in Ukrainian Crimea — have gone down," the Ukrainian government tweeted."What's next in line, Russkies?"
Ukraine has not formally taken credit for the blast, which took place one day after Putin's 70th birthday. Russian authorities said Saturday morning that the blast was caused by a roadside truck, which collapsed two lanes of the bridge and resulted in three casualties. Footage from the scene has shown a train of oil tanker wagons ablaze, and one lane of the parallel road bridge collapsed into the seahttps://t.co/Z5C2sDu3eE pic.twitter.com/VImzRPonyM
