Ukrainian domestic intelligence chief Vasyil Maliuk said in an interview: "Since it is a supply route that we had to cut off on the enemy, appropriate measures were taken" The Crimean bridge attack took place on Oct. 8, a day after Russian President Vladimir Putin's seventieth birthday.
Three people were killed in the blast, including the driver of the truck along with a man and a woman who were in a car near the blast. The bridge to Crimea, which was closed for days before being repaired, is a vital route for Russian military supplies.
