Russian authorities said a truck explosion caused a large fire on the bridge linking Russia and Crimea. At least three people were killed in the explosion, Russian officials said.
The fire has now been extinguished, Russian emergency services told Interfax agency. While traffic on the bridge is blocked and trains are delayed, the ferry service will start operating soon on Saturday.
The blast "set fire to seven oil tankers being carried by rail to Crimea," Russian news agencies cited the national anti-terrorism committee as saying. Russia has launched a criminal probe into the event.
