Russia announced on Wednesday that it has arrested eight suspects in connection with the explosion that occurred last Saturday on a crucial bridge connecting Russia and the occupied Crimea.
Five Russian citizens, two Ukrainians, and an Armenian person were all detained by the FSB, the Federal Security Service of Russia, after they were identified as suspects in the bridge explosion.

The individuals assisted in loading 22 tons of explosives into a truck in the Ukrainian city of Odesa, the car then traveled through a number of other nations before exploding on the Kerch crossing in Russia on Saturday morning, killing numerous people and briefly closing the bridge, according to a statement from the FSB.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has blamed Ukraine’s intelligence services for carrying out what he has called a terrorist attack.
The Kremlin leader has responded with a massive series of Russian airstrikes across Ukraine that began Monday — the largest wave since the earliest days of the invasion.
The attack on the Kerch bridge was widely celebrated by Ukrainian officials, although others have speculated that it might have been an inside job.
Ukraine’s security services called suggestions of Ukrainian involvement “all fake, and in the service of Putin.”
