“And today, at 4:44 am, without any civilian casualties, the first explosive device was detonated! The underwater pillars of the bridge supports were severely damaged at the seabed level – thanks to 1,100 kg of explosives in TNT equivalent. As a result, the bridge is now in critical condition,” the tweet continues after the cutoff. CNN’s reporting on the attack says that the only acknowledgement from the Russian side was them announcing that traffic on the bridge was been suspended, but by 9 AM local time they claimed it had resumed. No further context on that was added, unfortunately.
