The FSB must ensure the safety of the transport corridor through the Kerch Strait
Russian President Vladimir Putin issued a new order on Saturday demanding the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) enhance security of “the Kerch Strait transport corridor.” That’s after the Crimean Bridge had been damaged in a truck explosion early on Saturday.
Earlier, the Russian Transport Ministry said that traffic was reopened on the bridge, with one lane available for traffic, alternating in both directions. The head of the Republic of Crimea, Sergey Aksyonov, said that truck drivers were advised to use the Kerch ferry crossing.
The circumstances of the blast are being investigated. The explosion left three people dead. It also saw a part of the highway bridge collapse and seven fuel tanks of a train heading towards Crimea through a nearby railway bridge to catch fire.
