Drivers wait hours to cross damaged Kerch Bridge and leave annexed Crimea

Huge queues of cars lined up on Sunday (October 9) waiting to cross the damaged Crimea bridge as motorists tried to leave the annexed peninsula. A flagship project for Russian President Vladimir Putin, built at a reported cost of $3.6 billion, the bridge was damaged in a powerful blast on Saturday. The blast, which officials said killed three people, hit a crucial supply route for Russian forces in Ukraine.
