The bridge suffered damage after one of its sections was blown up, killing two people and wounding a child.

Traffic on the single bridge that links Russia to Moscow-annexed Crimea and serves as a key supply route for the Kremlin’s forces in the war with Ukraine came to a standstill on Monday after one of its sections was blown up, killing a couple and wounding their daughter.

The RBC Ukraine news agency reported that explosions were heard on the bridge, with Russian military bloggers reporting two strikes.

RBC Ukraine and another Ukrainian news outlet Ukrainska Pravda said the attack was planned jointly by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) and the Ukrainian navy, and involved sea drones.

      That’s a bad faith argument if ever there was one. At that point Russia could walk into any country behind human shields and nobody would be allowed to do anything.

      There is a giant difference between targeting civilians and a couple civilians getting killed while targeting strategic infrastructure.

          The roadway is used by both. Don’t be more ignorant that you must.

          The nation these civilians were attacked in is at war so it is not by any definition a terrorist attack.

      No because unlike your examples, which are false equivalences, the bridge is in a nation actively at war. Those civilians died occupying land.

      If I die due to visiting an active war zone is it my fault?
