Russian authorities reported Saturday that a truck explosion triggered a large blaze on the only bridge linking mainland Russia to the Crimean Peninsula.
Russian state-backed media cited the national anti-terrorism committee as saying that a truck exploded on the road traffic side of the Kerch bridge at 6:07 a.m. local time.
The Kerch bridge, one of Russian President Vladimir Putin's prestige projects, was built shortly after the Kremlin annexed Crimea in 2014.
