Road traffic partially restored on Crimean bridge a day after explosion

Traffic has resumed in one lane of Crimea's Kerch bridge, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin has said.

The bridge, which links Crimea to mainland Russia, was damaged in an explosion on Monday morning, with Moscow saying the attack had been carried out by Ukrainian sea drones.

“Motor transport on the Crimean bridge has been restored in reverse mode on the most outer right lane,” Mr Khusnullin wrote on Monday on his Telegram channel.

However, ferry operations were suspended on Tuesday morning as a result of bad weather, Russian agencies reported, citing the Moscow-backed Emergency Situations Ministry in Crimea.

Russia annexed the Crimean peninsula from Ukraine in 2014.

Key findings of Jenkins report
  • Founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hassan al Banna, "accepted the political utility of violence"
  • Views of key Muslim Brotherhood ideologue, Sayyid Qutb, have “consistently been understood” as permitting “the use of extreme violence in the pursuit of the perfect Islamic society” and “never been institutionally disowned” by the movement.
  • Muslim Brotherhood at all levels has repeatedly defended Hamas attacks against Israel, including the use of suicide bombers and the killing of civilians.
  • Laying out the report in the House of Commons, David Cameron told MPs: "The main findings of the review support the conclusion that membership of, association with, or influence by the Muslim Brotherhood should be considered as a possible indicator of extremism."
