A key bridge connecting Crimea and Russia has been hit by a devastating explosion that has killed three people, according to Russian authorities.
Footage shared on social media shows the moment of the blast, which engulfs the Kerch Bridge – the only crossing between the occupied Crimean peninsula and Russia – in plumes of smoke and flames.
Russian officials are claiming that the explosion, which occurred in the early hours of Saturday morning, was caused by a truck bomb, which caused seven railway cars carrying fuel to catch fire.
