Russian media outlet Ostorozhno Novosti shared a photo on Monday showing apparent damage to a key bridge connecting Crimea to Russia’s mainland amid reports of explosions.Traffic on the bridge was halted on Monday after reports of explosions that Crimean officials said were from a Ukrainian attack.The health ministry in Russia's Krasnodar region, which lies at the eastern end of the bridge, said two people were killed in an unspecified accident on the bridge and their daughter was injured.The chairman of Crimea’s parliament, Vladimir Kostantinov, said there was an attack on the bridge and blamed it on Ukraine.The extent of the damage was not immediately clear, but rail traffic resumed later on Monday morning after being halted for about six hours.The bridge, which spans the Kerch Strait, was damaged in October by a truck bomb and required months of repairs before resuming full service.The bridge carries both road and rail traffic and is an important supply artery for the conflict in Ukraine.News reports said local residents heard explosions before dawn on Monday.Andriy Yusov, a spokesman for Ukraine’s military intelligence department, declined to comment on Monday on the incident.
