They've the one lane open for propaganda purposes. How can this be safe?
Well, I'd say that the majority of traffic (light vehicle anyway) will be headed towards Russia.....any heavy traffic will be re-supply trucks to the military. And God only knows when the railway will be operational again. And all the time expecting bombing nr 2, 3,4,5, 6 etc. until the bridge is put beyond use.
Yes, and within 2 and half hours too! Russian propaganda for the home audiencias in " Its only a scratch" not a mortal wound type of response. But I can't see heavy train traffic going on it for quite a while.
There are an increasing number of murky incidents awaiting convincing explanation: this, the Dugina killing, and the gas pipelines...
It's still good
TASS report that Kadyrov said that “if necessary”, 70,000 Chechen fighters could be sent to battle Satan, Nazis, etc in Ukraine. Not that they were actually going to go. That footage is from a military parade in Grozny. Basically a communal TikTok dance.
How would Kadyrov protect his regime from all the people who oppose him if he sent all the military under his control to Ukraine? He needs them to rule with the iron fist that he does. he’s spent most of the war spoofing.
Yeah, some unknown Twitter guy, with comments section turned off. Seems legit
It looked spectacular, but if it's back in operation already it's kind of anticlimactic, and security will be even tighter around it now. It's feels like a near miss, like when the IRA nearly got Thatcher...close, but not quite there ...
To me, looking at the videos, the explosion was under the car deck. When the Russian military transports weapons and ordinance it is almost always by train. The explosion obviously wasn't on the train tracks.
No, but lots of posts saying same.
The main intended effect is to make most Russian civilians still in Crimea panic and leave. That leaves mostly military targets in Crimea. There is one bridge out, otherwise it's a very, very long and dangerous drive through an active war zone. There's absolutely no doubt it will be a highly successful attack.
”Jimmy” doesn’t look like the most reliable source now, does he?
They will be joining the tens of thousands of Syrian mercenaries and North Korean soldiers, no doubt.
Even if Ukraine have failed this time that bridge will fall sooner or later. Putin is on the run 🏳️
Sickle beats vodka because you’re too busy working for the motherland to drink the devil’s buttermilk.
First apparent view from underneath, pretty safe to rule out the bomb on a boat theory as there is no blast damage:-
Unlike these latest satellite pictures which show large blast marks across the decks:-
Pretty obvious the bomb on a truck is the likely source

Oblivious hammer 🔨 breaks sickle, so sickle has to break 🍾.I presume that it dangerous to have a hammer 🔨 if you have drank a 🍼
What a **** great day. I'm smiling like a cheshire cat throughout the day after seeing that bridge on fire
Go wan Ukraine
The Rathkeale boys are on the way out with there Tarmacadam outfit. They have it fixed in no time.
Putin's response to his beloved bridge getting bombed - sign a decree, probably a few disappointed who wanted something more:-
They weren’t supposed to get a first chance 😂
What an odd lesson to learn from all of this.
My feelings are the opposite - after this and the sinking of the Moscova it is clear that nothing Russian is safe from attack in occupied territory. The queue of cars at the Crimea ferry looking to escape think likewise.
Is there any evidence the explosion on the bridge was actually done by Ukraine?
Have they claimed credit for it?
Given the type of equipment that has likely been transported across that bridge by the Russians i.e fuel, arms, weapons, ammo, etc could this just have been an accident or even sabotage.
Is it not weird how footage from cctv on the bridge has been leaked, or was that some public cam feed?
Traffic isn't flowing....
It's not even funny
That's the disappointing thing about it. That was the moment to get it done and it's passed now. Unfortunately it appears they just didn't do quite enough damage. Won't get another chance.
Strange thing about the fire, something I've never seen before is the "shape" of the fire....it's circular, in a ring around the train. There are other pics which show it in even greater details. Strange phenomenon.
The operation was psychological, so how can it be deemed a failure?
Russia declared the bridge couldn't be attacked and half of Crimea panicked. Puttin again looks like a prat. Roaring success I reckon.
The Bridge is basically a massive lego kit, it would need to be hit in multiple locations and maintenance yards blown up too.
You would need NATO weaponry to destroy it.
That's not to say the bridge won't collapse down the line if structurally compromised.
But, if not it will probably also mean attacking it again to finish the job will be highly unlikely as security has probably stepped up 10 fold.
If it's true that traffic is back flowing across the bridge again than the operation has been mostly a failure.
Only benefit will have been psychological instead of any practical benefit in disrupting supply lines.
