MOSCOW, July 17. /TASS/. Train traffic following an emergency due to a drone attack on the Crimean Bridge will get back on schedule by Monday evening, Oleg Kryuchkov, adviser to the head of Crimea, told the Rossiya-24 TV channel on Monday.

"Gaps in long-distance, intercity train traffic enable dispatching local commuter trains, and [rail officials] have promised that all trains will be running on schedule by this evening," he said.

Earlier, the Russian Transport Ministry said that rail traffic on the Crimean Bridge had resumed. A first train by the Grand Service Express rail carrier crossed the bridge at 8:34 a.m. Moscow time.
