annexed peninsula. moscow was blaming the blast on the truck bombing and says 3 people were killed. a massive explosion lights up the pre dawn sky over the strait between russia and crimea. social media footage appears to show the moment of detonation, which russian or authorities say was caused by a truck bomb or but it loaded lynn for, according to preliminary information this morning, a truck was blown up on the motorway section of the crimean bridge. from the side of the term on peninsula causing 7 fuel tanks of a train heading towards the crimean peninsula to catch fire. as a result to spans of the road bridge, partially collapsed of the one been bro luther. officials closed the road bridge and railway to traffic while they assessed the damage. while ukraine has not claimed responsibility,

many military analysts are already assuming their behind the attack cave 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. its railway is a k route for troops and materiel to the front lines of russia's war in ukraine, but it also carries symbolic value. vladimir putin ordered its construction after seizing crimea in 2014, and inaugurated its opening behind the wheel of a truck. one analyst says the attack is likely to turn up the heat on the russian president back home. this bridge has putin's name all over it. 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 wagner group, blaming putin. the blame game started and such

a symbolic attack by the ukrainians is only going to accelerate that ah, to many ukrainians. the timing of the attack a day after putin's birthday is made the taste of victory, even sweeter korea where every every wake up in the morning and saw the usa into the ground, o e. last in old, all the family, it was very dizzy. janet over donovan. this is definitely good news, and the emotions are overwhelming. we don't need the crimean bridge. that's what it will do. and i don't think that putin as brave enough to use nuclear weapons in response me leave. it disappears as this award this. the world will now wait and see just how putin responds. many fear an escalation after another blow to russian forces put to moscow on the back foot. once again with i spoke to dominique.

i'm also from king's college in london, who focuses on russian foreign and security policy. and i asked her, who she thought was behind the explosion when i, i think it's, it's quite likely that ukrainian sort of special operative, you know, what behind this, i talk. i think they were at some point also a meeting to a to, you know, publicly there were reports of that in some of a ukrainian newspapers. so i think it is a days from the information we have so far it's, it's likely that the ukrainians are behind it. it makes sense also operationally, because it really made that sort of the ability of russia to supply, you know, it forces and not only in the area of k to song, but also around maybe a around the areas it controls in jeopardy asia. so it is a serious blow to russia, sort of sort of supply system on ability to, to continue with

a fight effectively in areas where it is sort of under challenge from ukrainian on forces. with that significance in mind, what kind of action do you expect from russia following the blast? what i mean, we've seen rush already sort of changing all put to placing a, you know, generally say, get survey pseudo vicky in charge of the entire sort of military campaign. so she's someone who has been responsible for operations in syria. so in an attempt to sort of, to carry out more effective military operations. but you know, this might not really change much on the ground. i think russia would escalate to a bi, for example, boarding indiscriminately cities in ukraine by deciding to sort of i try to give more more, more actively and more effectively. so i think that we can expect to sort of

indiscriminate in discriminatory bombing was taking place in the next few days because that's been sort of the, you know, the usual reaction of protein, you know, to sort of lea shout on mass and discriminate leann kill a lot of civilians as us of an emotional reaction which doesn't really have a military impact that was done to that spectrum also from king's college london. germany's defense minister christine le breast says nato must do more to protect itself against russia and vladimir putin. she made the comments during a visit to lithuania, to inaugurate and natal command center, and to observe training exercises led by a german troops. lamb breast said they'll be more forces deployed to the baltic nation to bolster its eastern flank, amid regional tensions with russia. over one ukraine, germany has been leading the nato operation in lithuania for the past 5 years.
