Light traffic resumed on Russia's only bridge to Crimea, hours after an explosion caused the partial collapse of the bridge on Saturday.
The blast on Europe's longest bridge - a symbol of Russia's annexation of the peninsula from Ukraine in 2014 - killed three people, investigators say, reports BBC.
The blast damaged a key supply artery for the Kremlin's faltering war effort in southern Ukraine.

The railway part of the bridge - where oil tankers caught fire - has also apparently reopened.
Video showed cars using the roadway after officials announced the limited reopening.
The rail and road crossing was opened in 2018 and is a key supply route for Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
