KYIV, July 18 — Partial road traffic opened on one lane of the Crimean Bridge late yesterday, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin said on his Telegram channel.
“Motor transport on the Crimean Bridge has been restored in reverse mode on the most outer right lane,” Khusnullin wrote yesterday.
However, ferry operations were suspended early today, due to bad weather, Russian agencies reported, citing the Moscow-backed emergency situations ministry of Crimea.
Early yesterday, a blast knocked out the bridge linking Russia to the Crimean Peninsula, which Moscow annexed from Ukraine in 2014, in what Moscow called a strike by Ukrainian sea drones. — Reuters
