Traffic was stopped on the Russian-built Crimean Bridge due to "an emergency" situation, Russia-installed officials said on Monday, while Ukrainian media reported blasts on the bridge.

The Kerch Bridge connects Russia to the Crimean Peninsula. The Russian military is heavily dependent on the rail link that crosses it to supply the illegally occupied territory in southern Ukraine. It's not currently clear how it was hit and to what extent it was damaged.

I suspect Russia is probably going to use this as a pretext to refuse to renew the Black Sea grain deal that expires today.
