A couple from Russia's Belgorod region was killed and their child injured after the Crimea Bridge was damaged in an "emergency incident", Russian officials said on Monday. Russia's Grey Zone channel, a heavily followed Telegram channel affiliated with the Wagner mercenary group, reported that there were two strikes on the bridge at 03:04 a.m. and 03:20 a.m. Amid reports of blasts, Russian officials told Reuters that traffic was halted on the Russian-built bridge linking Russia to Crimea, which Moscow seized in 2014. Sergei Aksyonov, a Russia-installed governor, said the emergency occurred on the 145th pillar of the bridge which links the Crimean peninsula to Russia's Krasnodar. Russia's transport ministry said that there was damage to the road on the bridge closer to the Crimean Peninsula.
