Fuel tank catches fire on bridge in Crimea
A fuel tank was on fire on the Kerch bridge in Crimea early on Saturday, Russia’s RIA state news agency said, while Ukraine’s media reported an explosion.
Traffic was suspended on the road-and-rail bridge, opened in 2018 and designed to link Crimea into Russia’s transport network, Reuters reported.
"A fuel tank is on fire on one of the sections of the Crimean bridge," the agency said, citing a regional official, but without stating the cause.
"The shipping arches are not damaged."
Ukrainian media said the blast on the bridge happened at about 6 a.m. (0300 GMT).
Reuters could not independently verify the reports.
