Traffic on the Crimean Bridge was temporarily halted, according to a telegram channel that monitors the situation on the bridge. The channel stated that vehicle traffic on the Crimean Bridge is temporarily blocked, signaling a pause in flow as authorities assess the scene. The highway information center’s operational channel, which provides updates on road conditions near the bridge, advised drivers who were currently on the bridge to stay calm and to follow the directions given by transport security personnel.
Earlier, Sevastopol Governor Mikhail Razvozhaev reported that air raid sirens were sounding in the city. Mukhtar, a public figure with a Telegram presence, warned residents of potential danger and posted a video outlining precautions citizens should take in such events.
On October 12, Ukrainian forces reportedly struck two villages in the Bryansk region. Governor Alexander Bogomaz confirmed that the settlements of Azarovka and Demyanki came under fire, underscoring the ongoing regional risks and the broader security context.
In a separate earlier report from the Donetsk People’s Republic, there were claims of a bridge collapse attributed to an attack by Ukrainian forces, though there has been no independent confirmation of that specific event within the same timeline.
The situation on the Crimean Bridge and around the broader border areas remains fluid, with authorities urging vigilance and adherence to official guidance. Public safety agencies continue to monitor developments and issue timely advisories as circumstances evolve. Attribution for the bridge status and subsequent updates is drawn from official transport channels and regional authorities, with corroboration sought from independent observers where possible.
