attack also i had thailand is hold in funerals for the children killed the ness, re mastercard mourners guy in buddhist temples to bid farewell to the ones who died in thailand's death. yes, ma skinning. ah, i am eddie micah junior and you are welcome to the program. ration transport ministry says that limited road traffic has resumed on the bridge connecting crimea to russia. it partially collapsed after being hit by a major explosion, and it's a key route and a real link from the ration mainland to the next crimean peninsula. ration authorities are blaming the blast on a truck bumping 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 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 my bill. bradley with 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 pets in the blame game started. and the such a symbolic attack 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 collapse bridge. while the official twitter account of the ukrainian government simply commented sick, bern, rushes foreign ministry said the social media post revealed ukraine's quote, terrorist nature russian installed officials in crimea had said the damage would be quickly repaired or correspondence. matthew belinda is in ukraine's. the city of nikolai, 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. there was a tweet by the presidential advisor, me haloperidol. jak, we'll kind of owned it says 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 your grand secret service, which has denied any 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 issued a san 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 skew is 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, i mean, celebrating this. okay? it'll be correspondence with. yes, belinda reporting from ukraine's at city of mich alive. thank you. so how much of

a big blow is the bridge attack for puttin? i asked stop russia analyst costantino get? well, it is a very good damaging image to see this burning bread a few hours off within 70 if anniversary ended up bots. look, russia is not a democracy. and no one's going to mock futon on television. then of, there's not going to be an opposition time when they'll question time in parliament, people asking questions. oh, why are the authorities that love prevent destruction of the bridge? which leads as you rightly sent from russia to illegally occupied crimea, up. so it is not going to be a big public problem for foods because it's going to be more oh, oh, is ation sort of ukraine of terrorism, stuff like that as the russian foreign ministry already did. but of course,

if you consider what people at the top will be thinking, of course they will be thinking, look, this is a blow. this is someone who said that this is a symbol. someone who opened this bridge, someone who made a big point over big case, also linking rock, the grimy of saying is going to be forever. so i think it's rather showing again to the elite of russia, that putin is not fully in control. that's the significance. honestly, we ver had how i ration officials have reacted to this matter. what about our other rations on the ground a holiday reacting to the blast? well, i think the population will evidently learn about it. and quite a few people who really think that the crimea is legally russian will be enraged by this kind of a callous act by ukrainians growth and quote a. but i suppose that more than one people ever since the mobilization was an out

of the 25th 7th december. realize this is real war, this is not some kind of tv show. we should just watch every evening. if i suppose that is going to add to realization that this is an old old war, but then again, eddie, it will not lead to revolution to morrow to a crowd storming the gramlin and saying, ah, down the boot. ah, these things take a lot of time to germinate in russia, if ever, oh, if ever, it also has a thing that the deputy chair of the security council of the russian federation dmitri amendment have previously issued a warning about such an attack. while the attack has happened, what is likely to be their response from russia? yeah, people are asking this question including, by the way, lots of people on ukrainian social media, whether putting this finally going to escalate. um, let me put it like that. i do not think that this warren's some kind of

a nuclear demonstration. i don't think that we can will go for that. but what i think could happen, you could have more shelling of. ah, let us say, ah, major ukrainian cit is ah, we can see more of a prussia on peaceful population in you great more of demonstrative atrocities. this could be the thing that which could employ just as usual, hair tactics. but if you, i mean every without asking now about the possibility of our over kind of nuclear strike or nuclear demonstration, rather, i personally made the wrong. i do not think that puts in the will see even this symbolic act, highly symbolic, beg warranty, nuclear as well. okay, did abuse rashana. alice constantine, i get thank you. now in thailand, funerals on the prayer services have begun for victims of one of the country's west

mass killings. if i'm a police officer, i stopped and shot 36 people and thirsty, including many children, not a child care center. in ne, in thailand, to wave games and flash deaths. how do we get away? but got a vet, if been remembered, he is one of the 24 children who died during a my da da stramp beach at at eye care center. no money on the day, the incident i didn't give him a call. i normally do that every morning. it was raining that day and i was in the heart to go to work, so i didn't call him. i didn't get to so word to him. i at this child care center, a former police officer shot and stopped children and d tooth, flaked, and killed his family and himself. now gifts and flowers,
