"Drone Attacks and Russian Strikes Cause Chaos in Crimea and Ukraine"

A drone attack on an ammunition depot in Crimea has led to civilian evacuations and disrupted transport, with Russian authorities blaming Ukraine for the attack. The Russian-installed governor of Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov, said local residents within five kilometers of the blast were being evacuated, and rail services across the Kerch bridge have been halted. The bridge, which connects Russia and Crimea, is an important re-supply route for Russian forces in southern Ukraine. This is the second major incident on the bridge in the past year, with the Kremlin blaming Kyiv for both attacks. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has stated that the bridge is a legitimate target.
