"Explosions and Drones: Chaos on the Crimean Bridge"

Two people were killed and a child injured in an "emergency" on the Crimean bridge, according to Russian authorities. The bridge, a vital logistical link for the Russian military, was hit by an explosion in October. Train services across the bridge are set to resume soon. In other developments, fighting has intensified in eastern Ukraine, with clashes reported in multiple areas. Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed that the Ukrainian counteroffensive had failed, and he threatened to use cluster bombs if such munitions were used against Russian forces. The Russian state has taken control of Danone's Russian subsidiary and Carlsberg's stake in a local brewer. The UN-brokered deal allowing Ukraine to ship grain across the Black Sea is set to expire, and Russia has threatened to pull out of the agreement.
