Information about an attack in Crimea has surfaced in the media. Reports suggest that the Russians have closed the bridge, and residents have reported hearing explosions.

Powerful explosions have rocked several regions in Crimea, including Yevpatoriya and Krasnoperekopsk, according to Ukrainian media. Residents have reported an attack on the peninsula, and it is believed that the Russians have closed the Kerch Bridge.

At 7:10 PM Eastern Time, individuals on or near the bridge were instructed to remain calm and follow security officers' instructions, as reported by "Ukrainska Pravda."

Earlier, a Ukrainian fighter jet successfully hit a target on Russian territory for the first time, as reported by Sky News, citing a Ukrainian military source.

"Whilst damage assessment is still occurring, it is confirmed as a direct hit. This is the first UAF air-delivered munition delivered against a target within Russia," the Sky News source indicated.
