Crimea bridge attack: What happened, why is the bridge important?

Al Jazeera  

The bridge suffered damage after one of its sections was blown up, killing two people and wounding a child. Traffic on the single bridge that links Russia to Moscow-annexed Crimea and serves as a key supply route for the Kremlin’s forces in the war with Ukraine came to a standstill on Monday after one of its sections was blown up, killing a couple and wounding their daughter. The RBC Ukraine news agency reported that explosions were heard on the bridge, with Russian military bloggers reporting two strikes. Russia’s National Antiterrorism Committee said the strike on the 19km Kerch Bridge was carried out by two Ukrainian sea drones. The bridge also became a major supply route for Russian forces after Moscow invaded Ukraine last year, sending forces from Crimea to seize most of southern Ukraine’s Kherson region and some of the adjoining Zaporizhia province.
