crazy for your data. we explain how these technologies work, how they can go in for but how they can also go terrible with this is dw news live from berlin, a deadly strike in ukraine. se risky workers picked rob all off to shilling in the city of operation. local authorities report multiple deaths and thousands of people injured. meanwhile, limited traffic resumes on russia's bridge to crimea

a day after. it was damaged by a massive explosion. moscow accused of ukraine blowing up it's vital link to the legally occupied peninsula. ah, i'm john driebe, thank you for your company. russia has attacked ukraine's se cd of his apparition overnight killing at least 17 people. footage of the aftermath shows the footage of the footage shows the aftermath of the shelling residential buildings with large sections blasted out while local officials reported roads and houses damaged. ukrainian authorities say dozens were injured. rescue crews are searching for survivors. appreciate is near a rush, an occupied nuclear power plant that is the largest in europe. earlier i spoke with d. w mathias building in ukraine's city of used ne,

i asked him for the latest details on the strike. yeah, at the moment it seems like 17 people have been confirmed dead and around 50 in the hospital. the strike it several read residential buildings. and if you look at the pictures of these buildings, they were basically cut in half with a missile, hitting in the middle, and the middle of the building collapsed. then we might expect many more deaths under the rubble at the moment. they are trying to save rescue, remember they can rescue and to get a better picture also of how many people were in the building at the time. ok, mathias, could you just remind just why is that bridge? yeah. is, is an active target for attacks like this one. what we've seen in the past few months is that the cities that are close to the front line, like nikolai, which is not far from where i am like heart give up. what is your also have been

preferred targets by the russians that might have to do with the fact that they can be hit by cheap, a low, low range massage. we often see them using as 300 massage. these are at the beginning they were or by design, they are anti aircraft massage, but they can be modified so they can hit targets on the ground. and russia has a much bigger stock of them then of the mid range missiles they have been using extensively at the beginning. it seems that they are not as abundant as before. so that might be one reason. there might also be some other reason that russia is basically targeting the areas that it claims it. an area that it claims mac alive is an area that claimed at the beginning, although it's not part of these next reasons. patricia is one of those territories that they have next recently. and that might be also a reason why they target, especially the cities radio. what's your system?

it is of the motive behind this dragon's apparition. because of course, the other big story this weekend is the bridge attack in crimea. and these 2 links a tax on this, it is happen frequently, but it's a pattern that after something happens to the russians, for example, ukraine taking back territory or strikes or deep into a russian controlled territory. or this strike on this very symbolic and, and also very strategic a bridge that these are usually a provoke, some kind of retaliation. and that the attacks intensify after something like that happening. so i would clearly expect there to be a connection. of course, we do not cannot confirm this in any way, but the pattern is very clear. ok, lettea. stay with us. we're going to get more on this. a crimea bridge blast. now, with this report,

a massive explosion lights up the pre dawn sky over the strait between russia and occupied crimea. social media footage appease to show the moment of detonation, which russian authorities say was caused by a truck bomb rushes for administrate late to posted this video claim to show traffic once again flowing over the bridge. b rail and road crossing opened in 2018 as a high profile project overseen by president vladimir putin. it's a key supply route for russia in its invasion of ukraine for many ukrainians. the timing of the blast just after putin 70th birthday makes it even more welcome. oh hey. then i really got the in the morning and so the usa im

telegram. oh e glass in oh. all the family it was very heavy. this is janet over in this is definitely good news, and the emotions are overwhelming. we don't need the cry, man bridge. that's what it will do. this is, and i don't think that peyton is brave enough to use nuclear weapons in response. smeeley was dish abuse. this disorder ukraine has not claimed responsibility for the attack, but in his nightly address, ukrainian president vladimir lensky made a thinly veiled reference to the destruction greenhill grey ukrainians to day was a nice and mostly sunny day in our country and being a temperature was about 20 degrees celsius and the sun was shining wall. unfortunately, in crimea, it was cloudy, still the world now wait to see how putin will respond. menefee,

an escalation, as another blow to russian forces. once again, put moscow on the back foot. let's go back to mateus burling and now in ukraine mathias, we saw people in ukraine celebrating this bridge strike, but there are also some fears involved. could you tell us a bit more about that? there is clearly the expectation that russia might step up. it's a tax on ukranian civilian infrastructure on civilians in the next few days and have also been experts, military experts have been warning people to be more horses in the next few days because of course nobody expected to go without retaliation. however, i haven't heard anybody who has said, well, they shouldn't have done this now this going to happen. something terrible. it has been very much welcomed and that's because this bridge is so symbolic and also

because it's so important for the russian supply lines. and there's basically consensus that ukraine needs to take back these territories and of course, destroying supply lines is something that seems very rational to most people. so i really haven't heard anybody who said that this shouldn't have happened inside your crate. outside you credit is a different story. ok, mathias billing a reporting from usually in southwest in ukraine. matthews. thank you. mike martin is a war studies fellow at kings college in london early asked. i asked him about his take on rushes, current military capability to retaliate for this incident. i jo rushes, all in in ukraine. they used up their entire professional army. they've used up all their modern equipment and now they're sending old equipment. and we've just seen, they've mobilized all of these effectively civilians to go and fight that there is

no extra capability hiding in a cupboard somewhere that russia can pull out to hit you crane. they are all in, and the ukrainians are beating them whilst at all in. now this explosion happened on what is a prize symbol of letting me prudence annexation of crimea. what kind of a blow is this to him? i think there's 2 ways that you should look at it. the 1st is on a, a strictly military plane. that bridge is incredibly important for russian logistics. most of their logistics are done by rail. and i noticed in your package earlier you mentioned that the, the bridge had opened slightly, but only the road bridge is reopened. any one carriage might the rail bridge where all of the military supplies come over. it's still closed and maybe close to a stable future. so that's a huge problem for russian forces in crimea, and it is only one of the railing which runs through melita pole which is just

south of that region which was mentioned in your package symbolically. you know, as you mentioned, the teaching opens this himself. and so for him, it's a huge blow and people in moscow. i've noticed that and people started to look for me to blame moscow. and speaking of you know, looking for people to blame. ukraine has expressed some de lives, but isn't openly claiming responsibility if it was them vote. why wouldn't they want to celebrate it openly as, as some kind of success? it definitely was ukraine. who else is it going to be? but we've actually noticed this pattern before. i don't if your view is remember, but there were attacks on some russian ad bases in crimea and on some supply that posing crimea. and actually they were similar install to this. they weren't missile attacks. they were probably special forces in tax or pot attacks. and ukraine

denied them, which actually is something that rushes on quite a lot over the last 20 years if something happens and then russia goes off. we don't know who did that, what happened? and in the sense the ukrainians are just playing back. the russians own modus operandi, back to them, they've done something, there's obviously them. but then they're saying, oh, we don't know who did. who could that possibly have been? now, mike, we hear that they've been reports of a fresh attack on is parisha. has the russian retaliation already started? i think it's really difficult to point, you know, one attack on a a and say that happened because of this. because if we look over the last 6 months, russia has been continually attacking 15. if i look the attacks on the region, there are probably bain sy attached to the appraiser in the last 3 or 4 weeks. so i

think it's very hard to say that the particular attack is linked to that job. and again, you know, as part of your attack, some civilian obviously are illegal in warfare. but actually on a practical level, what they tell us was interested in it has no power. why in military time wasting munitions on civilian when it should be use. and then again, the training on it doesn't make any sense. it's really been really great to get your insights today that was dr. mike martin. a was studies fellow at kings college in london. my thank you very much. thank you. ok is around up now. some other world news headlines video are shared on social media appears to show female students chanting. right. get lost during a visit to you runs, i'll sorry, university by the countries president abraham racy. it follows full weeks of protests after the death of 22 year old massa mi ni,
