A Russian couple were killed and their 14-year-old daughter wounded in what Moscow said was a Ukrainian attack as they drove across the Crimean Bridge, a crucial supply route, at night

It was not immediately clear how the bridge, one of President Vladimir Putin's prestige projects, was attacked but video posted on a Telegram channel run by the popular Russian online media group Mash showed the family's car smashed, with bloodied bodies contorted and silent.Blood seeps from the door into a puddle on the road as an occupants of another car implores the girl to keep still.The video was verified by Reuters as having been filmed on the Crimean Bridge.

"No words can soothe the pain of loss here," he said. The car they had been travelling in was from the Belgorod region, one of the Russian border regions that has seen the conflict in neighbouring Ukraine spill across the frontier.

The girl sustained injuries to her head and chest but was conscious and breathing independently and her life was not in danger, according to the local emergency response headquarters, which said psychologists were on hand. Western sanctions imposed over the war in Ukraine have made it much harder and more expensive for Russians to travel to Europe, limiting their options for summer holidays.
