Ukraine has targeted the Kerch Bridge in a rare daytime missile attack on the Crimean Peninsula that Moscow claims was shot down before causing any damage.
Videos circulating social media show two columns of smoke rising around the bridge. The Telegraph was not immediately able to verify whether the bridge had been damaged.
“Air defence forces shot down two enemy missiles over the Kerch Strait. The Crimean bridge was not damaged,” Sergei Aksyonov, the Russian-installed governor of the Crimean peninsula, posted on Telegram. Aksyonov’s adviser claimed that the billows of smoke were a “cover” created by rescue services.
Meanwhile, the Russian defence ministry said that Ukraine had tried to strike the bridge using S-200 anti-aircraft rockets.
The attack is believed to be the first time that the Kerch Bridge has been targeted in the daytime, and came just hours after the Russian defence ministry claimed that they had downed 20 drones targeting the occupied-Crimean peninsula early on Saturday.
