Kerch bridge attack: Early Saturday morning, a large explosion struck the 12-mile Kerch bridge linking Crimea to Russia, killing three and collapsing one of the highway links on the bridge while damaging the rail link. In retaliation, Russia launched over 100 missiles, striking parks and playgrounds as well as energy and other infrastructure, claiming it hit “all designated targets” using “high-precision long-range weapons.” Ukraine claimed that 30 percent of its energy infrastructure was hit by Russian missiles (though the energy situation has been stabilized) and that it shot down a number of the missiles as well as drones. Denmark said that the island of Bornholm, near the presumed sabotage attack on the NordStream pipeline, suffered a power outage simultaneously with the strikes, and the websites of several US airports (though not flight operations) suffered cyberattacks.
