Russian officials claim that multiple Ukrainian missiles were shot down over the bridge connecting Crimea to the Russian mainland. The bridge is a symbol of Russian occupation and has frequently been targeted by Ukraine. Two missiles were shot down on Saturday, according to the Russia-appointed Head of Crimea. Photos and videos circulating on social media show white smoke billowing from the bridge, but the images have not been independently verified. Russia's defense ministry also claimed to have destroyed 20 Ukrainian drones launched at the peninsula overnight. Following the attempted strikes, Russia's foreign ministry condemned Ukraine for a "terrorist attack" and vowed that such actions would not go unanswered. Traffic on the bridge has since resumed. However, reports indicate that there were more explosions and the bridge was again enveloped in smoke, leading to a temporary halt in traffic. Ukraine has declared its intention to destroy the bridge, which it considers to be illegally constructed on Ukrainian territory.
