On Saturday, August 12, smoke is visible in the area of the Crimean Bridge after the explosions. Thick smoke appeared at several points near the crossing. The “Operative Armed Forces of Ukraine” reports smoke in the area of the Kerch Bridge.
“Kerch and the area of the bridge now,” the message says.
The occupation authorities of Crimea do not talk about hitting the crossing, but rather about the successful work of Russian air defense.

The crossing is currently closed.
