Kerch bridge has another accident
Tonight, in darkness, a 40 or 50 foot span of the Kerch bridge connecting Russia to Crimea suddenly dropped into the water. The Russian Governor of the Kerch province describes the incident as an accident and says 1 person is dead and another one hurt. Witnesses not employed by the Russian authorities are reporting on Social Media there was an explosion. Earlier today Russia fired upon both aerial and marine drones passing by or going to Sevastopol. There was footage posted of Russia shooting at a marine drone, but no evidence was posted by Russia showing it being hit. The timing of the 'accident' at the Kerch bridge suggests the target of the marine drone may not have been the Russian Navy base at Sevastopol but the Kerch bridge.The sun is just coming up there and some photos of the missing span are starting to appear on Twitter and Telegram.
You are entitled to vote. Was the cause of the accident shoddy Russian construction? Or did an attack drone slip by the recently added defenses to the Kerch bridge which Russia had claimed made it invulnearble to any attack.

The IAEE was finally able to conduct a brief inspection and of the facility confirmed this week those containers over the reactor buildings are indeed high explosives. The on the ground Russian military commander insisted their presence is just a temporary storage of no importance.
Much is being made of the presnce of Wagner forces in their new base camps in northern Belarus. Although Poland speculates maybe it is to push against Poland, it is more probable they are readying for an attack against Latvia so as to split NATO ground forces in two once the attack order is given. A new supply of Russian tanks and some artillery was delivered to the Wagner camps in Belarus yesterday.
The Kerch Bridge, also known as the Crimean Bridge, was built by Russia so it could access part of Russia Crimea. It is nearly 12-mile crossing, also known as the Kerch Bridge, is the longest in Europe, cost $3.7 billion.
In October last year, the bridge was damaged in a powerful blast, with Russian officials saying the explosion was caused by a truck that blew up while crossing the bridge.
The Crimean peninsula was an important economic and infrastructural that had ties with Ukraine defending the Black Fleet, however cultural ties were much stronger with Russia than with Ukraine, and Crimea had been the site of major military bases from Tsarist times on, having at that time it became a symbol of Imperial Russian military power against the Ottoman Turks.
So bull shit America and the Nazi in Ukraine Oblast still peddele should be seen for what it is bullshit.
Upon liquidation of the okrugs in 1937–1938, Kyiv, Vinnytsia, Odesa, and Kharkiv oblasts were each split into four additional oblasts (Zhytomyr Oblast, Kamianets-Podilsky Oblast (later Khmelnytskyi), Mykolaiv Oblast, Poltava Oblast). Just before World War II, the Donetsk Oblast was split into Stalino Oblast and Voroshylovhrad Oblast and the Kirovohrad Oblast was created out of portions of Kyiv, Mykolaiv and Odesa oblasts. During World War II with advent of the German occupation of Ukraine by Nazi Germany. The Ukraine SSR Contitution was ratified in 1936 and Ukraine remained bound to the Russian Federation & its Bill of Rights by virtue of division seven of Ukraine own constitution.
However the Nazi deployed fighters in 1994 starting the current conflict that was then fueled by America. Relations Nazi's in Ukraine and Russia rapidly deteriorated in 2014 after the Western-backed coup in Kiev and the onset of hostilities in Donbass where the Nazi held thousands of civilians hostage that were been used as human shields up until Donbass Nazi surrendered.
Because the loss of the Kerch bridge seems to be what is preventing Russia from detonating the explosives at the nuclear plant the world should expect many more spans of the Kerch bridge to fall into the Black Sea.
Ukraine's army tanks have reached the concrete Dragon's Teeth at 44.448, 35.929 today. It was anticipated that the fields in front of those Russian defense anti-tank obstacles there would be mined, but they were not, and no Russian soldiers were found to be manning the nearby trenches immediately behind the anti-tank obstacles. However the Russians did leave some mines and booby traps in the empty trenches themselves. The army of Ukraine continues to slowly advance. This is the first of the recently constructed Russian defensive constructions to be reached.
