According to Russian news agency Tass<\/a>, an explosion occurred in early Saturday morning on one of Putin\u2019s prestige projects<\/a> and Europe\u2019s longest bridge, which connects Russia and Crimea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAn object believed to be a fuel storage tank has caught fire on the Crimean Bridge, but the viaduct\u2019s navigable arches sustained no damage, an aide to the head of Crimea, Oleg Kryuchkov, said on Saturday,\u201d according to the news outlet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAccording to preliminary information, a fuel storage tank is on fire\u2026 Navigable arches were not damaged. It is too early to speak about causes and consequences. Work to extinguish the blaze is underway,\u201d Kryuchkov wrote in his Telegram channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crimean Bridge<\/a>, also known as Kerch Strait Bridge or Kerch Bridge, is a pair of parallel bridges, one road, one rail, spanning the Kerch Strait between the Taman Peninsula of Krasnodar Krai in Russia and the Kerch Peninsula of Crimea in Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After annexing Crimea at the start of the Russo-Ukrainian War, Russia built the bridge. It is the longest bridge ever constructed in Russia, at 19 kilometers (12 miles), and the longest bridge in all of Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides transportation, Russia\u2019s motivation for building the bridge was to legitimize its territorial claims in Crimea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The details of the bomb blast are not yet known, but it is clear that your tax dollars are now funding bombings of Russian infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lindsey Graham must LOVE this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
