A drone attack on an ammunition depot in Crimea has led to civilian evacuations and disrupted transport, Russian authorities have said, APA reports citing BBC.
Sergei Aksyonov, the Russian-installed governor of occupied Crimea, said Ukraine was behind the attack, without providing evidence.
Aksyonov said local residents living within five kilometres of the blast were being evacuated.
Rail services across the Kerch bridge have also reportedly been halted.
Earlier on Saturday, Russian authorities stopped traffic on the bridge, but then swiftly reopened it to cars.
A later update from the Moscow-installed government said road traffic was again halted until further notice.
Aksyonov said infrastructure facilities in the Krasnogvardeysky district in Crimea were the target.
"According to preliminary data, there were no damages or casualties," Aksyonov wrote on a Telegram post.
The district where the strike was reported is more than 160km (100 miles) from the Kerch bridge.
