Russian investigators say Ukraine fired four missiles at bridge to Crimea -RIA

Russia's Investigative Committee said four missiles had been fired by Ukrainian forces at the Chonhar road bridge connecting Crimea with Russian-held parts of Ukraine's Kherson region overnight, the RIA news agency reported on Thursday.

The so-called "gate to Crimea" is one of a handful of links between Crimea - which Moscow seized and unilaterally claimed to have annexed from Ukraine in 2014 - and mainland Ukraine.

Russian-appointed officials earlier said missiles had struck the bridge, forcing traffic to be diverted to a different route.
