Russian officials have reported that a mother and father from the Belgorod region of Russia were killed and their daughter was injured in an incident on the Crimean Bridge. The bridge, which connects mainland Russia to Crimea, was allegedly attacked by Ukraine. Authorities have promised to retaliate, blaming the “terrorist regime in Kyiv” for the attack. The cause of the parents’ deaths and the halt in traffic on the bridge are currently unknown. Vladimir Konstantinov, the chairman of the State Council of the Republic of Crimea, has stated that “our secretary of defense has promised strikes against criminal decision-making centers.” Russia’s Ministry of Transportation has confirmed that the bridge sustained damage, leading to a halt in vehicle traffic, although railway traffic remains operational. The Crimean Bridge, also known as the Kerch Strait Bridge, was opened in 2018 and serves as a crucial link between Russia’s Krasnodar region and the annexed Crimean Peninsula. Ukraine has not taken responsibility for the apparent attack, but an adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that “all illegal structures used to deliver Russian instruments of mass murder are necessarily short-lived.” The parents who died have been identified by the Belgorod Oblast Gov. as residents of the Novooskolsky district, with their daughter suffering moderate injuries. Sergey Aksyonov, the Russia-appointed head of Crimea, has advised residents to avoid using the bridge. The Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation has opened a criminal case regarding the incident, classifying it as a terrorist attack. It is worth noting that in October, an explosion on the bridge resulted in three deaths and severe damage to the structure.
