also, coming up thailand is holding funerals for the children killed in the nest. we massacre more as guy in buddhist temples to bid farewell to their loved ones who died in thailand's that he has mass killing. ah, i am eddie micah junior and you are welcome to the program. russia transport ministry says that limited road traffic has resumed on the bridge connecting crimea to russia. it partially collapse, stopped being heads by a major explosion. it's a key, rude and real link from the russian mainland to the annexed crimean peninsula. russian authorities are blaming the blast on the truck bombing and see that 3 people were killed. a massive explosion lights up the pre dawn sky

over the street between russia and crimea. social media footage appears to show the moment of detonation, which russian authorities say was caused by a truck bomb. opened bloody to lean far according to preliminary information this morning. a truck was blown up on the motorway section of the crimean bridge. from the side of the time on peninsula causing 7 fuel tanks of the train heading towards the crimean peninsula to catch fire. as a result to spans of the road bridge partially collapsed, the might be looked at. i look at them. officials closed the road bridge and railway to traffic while they assess the damage. while ukraine has not claimed responsibility, many military analysts are already assuming they're behind the attack. keith has repeatedly threatened to strike the crimean bridge, which is the only direct road and rail link between russia and crimea, the territory it illegally annexed in 2014. it's railway

is a key route for troops and material to the front lines of russia's war and ukraine . but it also carries symbolic value. vladimir putin ordered its construction after season crimea, and inaugurated its opening behind the wheel of a truck. one analyst says the attack, which came a day after putin 70th birthday, is likely to turn up the heat on the russian president back home. this bridge has peterson's name live rates. it's the symbolism of his projects. and this comes at a time where there's already been lots of factions, maneuvering in moscow, blaming the military, blaming the vall degree blaming puts in the blame game started, and the such as symbolic, attacked by the ukrainians, is any going to accelerate that ukrainian officials celebrated the attack on line and adviser to the ukrainian president wrote crimea the bridge, the beginning,

everything illegal must be destroyed. everything stolen must be returned to ukraine . everything occupied by russia must be expelled with an image of the collapsed bridge. while the official twitter account of the ukrainian government simply commented sick, bern, rushes foreign ministry said the social media posts revealed ukraine's quote, terrorist nature russian installed officials and crimea had said the damage would be quickly repaired. correspondence about the as belinda is in ukraine city of mc alive, he told us more about ukraine's official reaction to the incident. yeah, ukrainian officials haven't said much about it. of course, there's a lot of speculation on how and by whom this was conducted this attack, whether it was which seems a little at the 2 most people at the moment,

the most likely version by a truck loaded with explosives or whether it was some kind of or asked try rockets most probably. um, but the ukranian officials haven't said much about it that there was a tweet by a presidential advisor, me hi. lo for the jak will kind of own did say saying that every territory must be returned. and this was a legitimate target as it was in the legal construction. but there's not much more than that. there's also been speculation about ukraine secret service, which has denied any one man. okay, now are we from the officials, you've been talking to other ukrainians? what have they been saying? we've just been somewhere outside of town, where old people they were working in their gardens and staying in these dutch as these summer houses. and they were saying they were celebrating today. and that's

pretty much the mood all across the country. the strike has been expected. the ukrainian postal service has even issue a sand about destroyed ridge, of course, not with pictures from today, but with drawings and that they, the government has said several times that they consider this a legitimate target. so was more a question of when and how and where they would be possible, then whether they would attempted it seen as a legitimate target and the whole of the country. and then lots of means on the internet. celebrating this means, for example, showing a president lensky grilling meat skewers over there, burning bridge, or a high mass. a rocket launcher, swimming on the sea, on a, on a, on a rubber boat. next to the bridge. all kinds of a means celebrating this. okay? it'll be correspondence with. yes. belinda reporting from queens at city of mich alive. thank you. now, as we had earlier, russia blames the incident on the truck bombing. i asked frank lead,

which the military analyst for his take on that. but the inquiry that president putin has ordered, we'll be looking and looking at all this in some detail. my own view is that there's probably a little bit more to it than a truck. i doubt it was a mess. all the cranes don't have my size with that range. demolition experts of course spend their lives on this kind of operation. this is a dream for military saboteurs. i have a suspicion to maybe something of a, maybe a submersible involved or perhaps pretty late explosives, but we'll see. we'll see what, what comes out of this as i say the russians. they say here's a truck and that's probably they go to remain their story. ok, here's the thing to ukraine. haven't taken any direct responsibility, but it's official. celebrate that the incident online, if it actually was you green, why wouldn't be officially clear responsibility for the same reason that they avoid claiming direct responsibility for attacks such as bel garad and other

ammunition dump sand installations inside russia. over the last 7 or 8 months. let's not forget, this is whatever the russians say, it is a key part of russian infrastructure. but look, there have been leaks as mateus said, everybody knows who did it. there's no doubt about it. of mothers formerly announced or not. this was a ukrainian operational. you said a significant part of russia's infrastructure. tell us how significant is this bridge? most of russia's military supplies heading towards the front that mathias was on at mc alive. curse on nava cock of a comes through over that bridge is $36000.00 tons a day of material people and fuel cross that bridge and it's gone. it said that the the function of the bridge simply cannot be replaced. what the russians will have to do now is use fairies. they have got some military transport there to replace

some of the military carrying capability. but it simply won't come near to the, the capacity the bridge. their big problem now is that a lot of the traffic will come down through the town of multiple, which is just northwest, actually my alcohol. and that puts, it puts the supplies to crimea right within the range of, of ukrainian artillery who can exercise. and let's say the influence over that, and so it's a vital artery into the crimea. i mean, russia, it's obviously not happy about her despite a glance at enzo walked called video response to this. yes, that's, that's the, that's the key question here. there's a lot of quite understandable jubilation about this, but it won't go unanswered. now, this is the 1st significant strike on, on a russian territorial key infrastructure item of key infrastructure. it's outside you credit territory from the russian perspective course from the credit perspective. it isn't. what we saw last week with respect to the pipes in the north sea,

where the russians indicated a capability that's mine, alice's to be able to strike outside their characters. of course, we know they can, and i have a suspicion. that's why the response may come, not with a new credit self, but outside you create a not might be a, another step along the escalade, 3 pos that were already on who have to wait and see how that develops. but thank you very much. frank led, rich and military analyst for your time. so you said you're in in authority. see if they have found $200.00 individual graves and a mass grave in the eastern city of lemon and military governor. the don't ask region, i suppose that photos of the graves on line. the governor says nations have already begun. police say the exact number of bodies in the mass grave is still unknown. officials have not confirmed whether the dead civilians or ukrainian soldiers. russian troops retreated from the area last weekend. let's get you up to speed on
