Details: People who were on the bridge or at the inspection area at the time of the announcement were asked to stay calm and follow the instructions coming from transport security officers.
Background:
- Russian occupation authorities have already suspended the bridge traffic once, at 07:00 on 24 July.
- President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that the Crimean Bridge is a legitimate target for Ukraine because Russia uses it to transport weapons; the bridge therefore "has to be neutralised".
