Traffic on the bridge in both directions has been stopped.

Local channels are posting videos of smoke in the area of the Crimean Bridge. It is not known whether it was damaged.

Aksyonov later said that Russian air defence had shot down two missiles and that the bridge was "not damaged".

The Russian Ministry of Defence claimed that the Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked with S-200 missiles, but they were shot down, and the smoke was allegedly a Russian "smoke screen".

As a reminder, the occupiers attacked Orikhiv with an air bomb.
