Traffic on the single bridge that links Russia to Moscow-annexed Crimea and serves as a key supply route for the Kremlin’s forces in the war with Ukraine came to a standstill on Monday after one of its sections was blown up, killing a couple and wounding their daughter.

The RBC Ukraine news agency reported that explosions were heard on the bridge, with Russian military bloggers reporting two strikes.

RBC Ukraine and another Ukrainian news outlet Ukrainska Pravda said the attack was planned jointly by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) and the Ukrainian navy, and involved sea drones.

    Any Russian citizen moving into Crimea negates the privilege of being labeled a civilian at this point.

      I have to wonder how many are told it is safe or that they aren’t stealing a living family’s stuff

      There is no way to know how long they have been living there and this is the reasoning war criminals use

        You are not wrong but this is well within the strategic definition of collateral damage in this case so it is not relevant.

        There are records. Russia and Ukraine are modern-ish states Russian backwardness aside.

          Such a backward state that it has Hypersonic missles while the west provides munitions that can’t seem to aid the counter offensive (they are stil proooobin’) or disable a rail line on a bridge.
