President Vladimir Putin, taking into account the fact that the second terrorist attack has already taken place on the Crimean bridge, is waiting for specific proposals to improve the security of this facility. He stated this at a meeting on the situation around the Crimean bridge.

“Given that the second terrorist attack on the Crimean bridge is already taking place, I am waiting for specific proposals to improve the security of this strategically important transport facility,”— declared Mr Putin. The FSB, the Investigative Committee, and a number of other departments were instructed to look into the incident in detail. “I have no doubt that all the circumstances will be established,” the president added.

Traffic across the Crimean bridge was stopped “due to an emergency in the area of ​​the 145th support from the Krasnodar Territory.” This was announced at about four o’clock in the morning by the head of the Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov. At the National Anti-Terrorism Committee reportedthat the bridge was attacked by two Ukrainian maritime drones, as a result of which the road component of the bridge was damaged.
