Moscow accuses Ukraine of attacking its huge sea bridge with drones, killing two people.
The bridge linking Russia to Crimea has partially reopened a day after it was attacked, the Russian government says.
Russia refused to extend a deal to export grain from Ukrainian ports but denied this was retaliation. Posting video appearing to show cars crossing the bridge at night, Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin said he hoped two-way traffic could be restored by mid-September. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said there was no connection between the incident and Russia's decision to suspend its participation in aUN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said hundreds of millions of people facing hunger around the world would "pay the price" for Russia's withdrawal from the deal.
