Ukraine's SBU security service said on Tuesday that it had hit the road and rail bridge linking Russia and the Crimean peninsula below the water level with explosives.
In a statement, the SBU said it had used 1,100 kilograms (2,420 pounds) of explosives that were detonated early in the morning and damaged underwater pillars of the bridge, a key supply route for Russian forces in Ukraine in the past.
The official Russian outlet which provides regular status updates on the bridge said its operation had been suspended for about three hours between 4 a.m. and 7 a.m. local time.
It gave no reason for the temporary closure, but said the bridge had been reopened and was functioning as normal.

SBU споделя видео фрагменти, които демонстрират детонация до един от многото стълбове за поддръжка на моста.

19-километровият (12 мили) Кримски мост над пролива Керх е единствената директна връзка сред транспортната мрежа на Русия и Кримския полуостров, която Москва анексира от Украйна през 2014 година
мостът беше водещ план за съветския президент Владимир Пуин. It consists of a separate roadway and railway, both supported by concrete stilts, which give way to a wider span held by steel arches at the point where ships pass between the Black Sea and the smaller Azov Sea.
The bridge was used by Russian forces during their invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, when they crossed it to reach Crimea and from there went on to seize parts of Ukraine's southern Kherson and southeastern Региони на Zaporizzhia.
