Ukrainian Official: Ukrainian Services Behind Attack on Crimean Bridge

(Patria) - A Ukrainian government official, who wished to remain anonymous, told The Washington Post that Ukrainian special services are behind the attack on the Crimean Bridge.

The Ukrainian portal Pravda was the first to report on the alleged role of the Ukrainian government in the explosion, quoting an unidentified official who said that the Ukrainian intelligence service, SBU, was involved in the explosion on the bridge.

The Russian Ministry of Transport announced that limited road traffic for cars and buses has been restored on the lane that was not damaged in the explosion on the Crimean Bridge.

It was stated that traffic will be limited for now to the crossing between Crimea and the Russian Taman Peninsula in alternating directions.

Sergei Aksyonov, the governor of the Crimean Peninsula annexed by Russia in 2014, announced on social media that heavy trucks will have to cross to and from Crimea by ferry.
