"Drone Attacks and Evacuations: Unrest in Crimea"

A drone attack on an ammunition depot in Crimea prompted the evacuation of residents within a 3-mile radius and briefly suspended road traffic on the bridge connecting the peninsula to Russia. The regional governor blamed the attack on Ukraine, but there has been no official comment from Kyiv. The incident follows recent explosions on the Crimean Bridge, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy stated that the bridge is a legitimate target as it serves as a military supply route for Russia. In a separate development, Russian nationalist Igor Girkin, who played a role in Russia's annexation of Crimea and the war in Ukraine, has been remanded in custody on charges of inciting extremism.
