Russian authorities have said the attack was a 'terrorist action' carried out by Ukraine - but Kyiv has stopped short of claiming responsibility
A man and a woman riding in a vehicle on the bridge were killed, Russia's Investigative Committee said. It did not say who the third victim was.Advertisement
Rail traffic was resuming slowly, with two passenger trains leaving the Crimean cities of Sevastopol and Simferopol and heading towards the bridge on Saturday evening. Hours after the explosion Russia's defence ministry announced the air force chief, General Sergei Surovikin, would now command Russian troops in Ukraine. He has previously led Russian forces in Syria and has been accused of overseeing a bombardment that destroyed much of Aleppo.
Since then, however, the office of the General Staff of Ukraine's Armed Forces has said"dozens" were killed or injured.
