An explosion caused the partial collapse of a bridge linking the Crimean Peninsula with Russia on Saturday, damaging a key supply artery for the Kremlin's faltering war effort in southern Ukraine. Three people were killed in the blast, Russian authorities said.

Photos from cameras on the Kerch Strait bridge shows the moment a large

explosion rocked the roadway, disabling the only bridge connecting annexed

Crimea to the Russian mainland.

The speaker of Crimea’s Kremlin-backed regional parliament immediately accused Ukraine, though Moscow didn't apportion blame. Ukrainian officials have repeatedly threatened to strike the bridge and some lauded the attack, but Kyiv stopped short of claiming responsibility.
