SIMFEROPOL, October 10. Russia’s approaches to conducting its special military operation in Ukraine have changed since the terrorist attack on the Crimean bridge, the region’s head Sergey Aksenov wrote on his Telegram channel on Monday.
"The approaches to the special military operation have changed. I’ve been saying from the first day of the operation that if such actions to destroy the enemy infrastructure were taken every day, we would have finished everything by May and the Kiev regime would have been defeated. I hope that now the pace of the operation will not slow down," Aksenov wrote.
A truck exploded on the Crimean Bridge on Saturday morning, causing several fuel tanks of a train to catch fire. Three people were killed in the blast. Two spans of the bridge’s roadway to the peninsula collapsed but a lane leading from Crimea to the Krasnodar Region reportedly remained intact. The head of Russia's Investigative Committee, Alexander Bastrykin, slammed it as terrorist attack, indicating that Ukrainian special services were behind it. At the moment, railway traffic on the Crimean bridge has been restored, the ferry crossing works as well.
