Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, yesterday, that the discovery of traces of explosives on a foreign cargo vessel in the Black Sea underscores the threat to the Kerch Strait Bridge. Earlier in the day, Sputnik reports, the Russian Federal Security Service FSB said that it had detected traces of explosives on a ship on Saturday that had been coming from Turkiye to the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don, adding that it had imposed inspection of all ships going through the Kerch Strait to prevent possible terrorist attacks.
“Of course, ensuring the security of the Crimean Bridge requires the most careful measures, verification activities, which are carried out by our relevant body. Indeed, the discovered traces of explosives indicate that there is a danger. It requires being on a high alert constantly,” Peskov told reporters.
