The Kerch Strait Bridge, a key supply route for Moscow's forces, has been plagued by closures in recent months.
A Russian warship sailing near the Kerch bridge, which links the Russian mainland to Crimea, on July 17, 2023. The bridge has been closed after Ukrainian drone and missile strikes on the port of Sevastopol.
Shortly after the attack, the Kerch Strait Bridge—which has been struck twice before by Ukraine, in October 2022 and July 2023—was closed to traffic. In August, Kyiv claimed responsibility for both strikes. Zelensky said last month that it is a legitimate target as Russia uses it as a military supply route in the 18-month-old war.
"Vehicle traffic on the Crimean bridge is temporarily blocked. Those on the bridge and in the inspection area are asked to remain calm and follow the instructions of transport security officers," a Telegram channel which provides operational updates on the bridge, said at about 11 a.m. local time without elaborating on why it had been being closed.
