Massive flames rise from Kerch bridge in Crimea after explosion

CRIMEA, UKRAINE - OCTOBER 08: Three people were killed on Saturday in a "truck bombing" at a strategic bridge in Crimea, Russian investigators said.Russia's Investigative Committee added that the driver of the truck is a resident of Russia's Krasnodar Krai region.A fire broke out early Saturday morning on the Kerch Bridge -- preceded by an explosion -- causing suspension of traffic and bus and train services.The Kerch Bridge -- a pair of parallel bridges, a road and a railroad -- is a key supply route for Russia which was built after Crimea's annexation in 2014.The fire has now been extinguished, Russian authorities said.Train services to Crimea are expected to resume by Saturday evening, according to Russia's Transport Ministry.The Russian Anti-Terror Committee said earlier that the bridge was damaged by "a truck bombing."Footage and images, widely shared on social media, show that a road section collapsed and train carriages were burning on the bridge, which is the longest in Europe.Thousands of tourists remain stranded in Crimea after the explosion, multiple tour groups said.(Footage by Stringer/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images)
