A drone attack on an ammunition depot in Crimea has led to civilian evacuations and disrupted transport, Russian authorities have said.

Sergei Aksyonov, the Russian-installed governor of occupied Crimea, said Ukraine was behind the attack, without providing evidence.

Mr Aksyonov said local residents living within five kilometres of the blast were being evacuated.

Rail services across the Kerch bridge have also reportedly been halted.

Earlier on Saturday, Russian authorities stopped traffic on the bridge, but then swiftly reopened it to cars.

A later update from the Moscow-installed government said road traffic was again halted until further notice.

Mr Aksyonov said infrastructure facilities in the Krasnogvardeysky district in Crimea were the target.

Whether or not Ukraine is responsible is immaterial, the news is good. And yes, this is a legitimate target.

I wish the Ukrainians had the systems to hit looters bridge on a daily basis I’d be delighted to see them drop a few spans preferably across the deep water channel and bottle up those Russian pirates salva Ukraine ????????
