Crimea bridge: Russian officials confirm three people killed in devastating explosion

Three people were killed in a devastating explosion on a crucial bridge linking Russia and Crimea, Russia says. The blast occurred when a truck blew up on the bridge’s roadway at 6.07am on Saturday, according to Moscow’s investigative committee, and caused seven fuel tanker wagons to catch fire on a train passing on the upper level. At least three sections of the road collapsed into the water below following the explosion, a route through which ships travel between the Black and Azov seas.
