Part of a crucial bridge linking Russia and Crimea has been destroyed in a suspected Ukrainian strike.

Mykhailo Podolyak stopped short of saying Ukrainian forces were responsible for the blast, but wrote: ‘Everything illegal must be destroyed, everything that is stolen must be returned to Ukraine, everything occupied by Russia must be expelled.’

The Crimean Peninsula holds symbolic value for Russia and is key to sustaining its military operations in the south. While Russia seized the areas north of Crimea early during the invasion and built a land corridor to it along the Sea of Azov, Ukraine is pressing a counteroffensive to reclaim them. Sergei Aksyonov, the Russian governor of Crimea, said on social media that the road bridge was still intact in one direction, although traffic was suspended while the damage was assessed.The smoke plumes were visible for miles
