"We have information on one incoming strike. <...> This means that the destruction is most likely insignificant and it will be possible to restore [the bridge] quickly. But the final decision will be made today when they make an assessment. The commission is working there, as well as bomb disposal specialists and so on," he told the Rossiya-24 TV channel.
