CNN By Josh Pennington and Alex Stambaugh, CNN Eight people have been detained over Saturday’s blast that damaged the only bridge connecting annexed Crimea with the Russian mainland, marking a critical juncture in Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.
Security agents arrested five Russians, two Ukrainians and an Armenian as suspects in the explosion, which disabled a critical link between Russia and the Ukrainian peninsula it annexed in 2014.
Moscow's domestic intelligence service on Wednesday offered its version of events leading to the explosion on the Kerch Bridge, which dealt a strategic and symbolic blow to the Kremlin.
Russian authorities arrested eight people in connection with the bombing of the Kerch Bridge, which is the only bridge that connects Russia to the Crimean Peninsula.
