Ukraine War: What do we know about the explosion on key bridge linking Russia and Crimea?

Videos
Two people have died after blasts were reported on the bridge linking Crimea and Russia. Russian officials said a couple was killed and their daughter injured in an unspecified accident while Ukrainian media reported explosions.

The bridge is one of only two ways for Russia to supply the Crimean peninsula which it occupied in 2014. The other route is the coastal highway on the Sea of Azov that runs through the strip of occupied land that bridges Crimea with the Russian-occupied Donbas region in the east of Ukraine.

Sky News Moscow correspondent, Diana Magnay, has outlined the symbolic and strategic importance of the Kerch Bridge as well as the latest news from the Kremlin that Russia confirmed it will not extend the Black Sea grain deal.
