Employees of the traffic police and Russian Ministry of Transport posts have been evacuated.

Russian occupiers have once again shut down the Crimean bridge because of the threat of a missile attack. However, the residents of the occupied peninsula were not informed about the threat.

This was reported by obozrevatel.com, citing the Russian Astra telegram channel. Traffic across the bridge was reportedly blocked on May 10 from 5.20pm to 5.50pm.

Ten employees were evacuated from the Taman road traffic control post, along with 90 employees of the Russian Ministry of Transport stationary radio-technical complex. At 17:50, the bridge reopened and the residents were not notified of the missile threat again.

The bridge was previously closed on May 6. At that time, local authorities told the population that traffic across the bridge had been suspended for technical reasons.

Natalia Humenyuk, spokeswoman for OC South, said earlier that the Russian occupants were blocking the Crimean bridge because they understood that the structure was not stable at all.
