Traffic across the Crimea Bridge was suspended.

Russia’s Ministry of Defense has traditionally announced the alleged "successful interception of a Ukrainian S-200 anti-aircraft missile converted into a surface-to-surface variant."

As Ukrinform reported earlier, Crimean partisans recorded the movement of de-mothballed Soviet-era equipment across the peninsula.
