Officials say the deadly attack in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine, could be retaliation following the blast that damaged a bridge in Crimea.
RELATED:
Russia launched multiple missile attacks into the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia overnight, killing at least 12 people and wounding dozens in an apparent reprisal for a truck bomb that damaged a Crimean bridge, authorities said Sunday.
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sunday blamed Ukraine's special services for the bridge explosion, and he ordered the chairman of his investigative committee, Alexander Bastrykin, to open a criminal case. Bastrykin said some suspects already have been identified.

Not Ukraine at all. They did bridge but not this building.
It’s the innocent that get hurt in man’s madness.
@Dr. Bunter Hiden (BroBruh) gladly, any price to stop russia
I mean… ukraine blew up part of the bridge in crimea. What did you expect would happen? My condolences to the innocent lives lost in the cross path of this political nonsense
This is heartbreaking…the natural world is challenging enough that we should all be helping each other survive, rise up, and prosper. Sadly, too many don’t have the ability to grasp the significance of our short lives…or ability to give a crap.
You replied to me? And plus its not that big of a deal everyone gets offended so easily
If anything the James Webb telescope should make us realize how unique We are in the universe
Politicians and their servants… will be the death of us all.
applesauce brains no way he can negotiate a peace deal here we need someone who can for a complete sentence on his own to help us here.
I was just thinking the same thing! God help us!
Applesauce Brains started this whole thing!!
Need to ask the potato for more money, that will fix everything.
More military. More war. More missile defense systems. Endless billions to Ukraine. Let me American people go without clean water! We will not be satisfied until 100% of all US money goes to Ukraine
Hey remember when you guys were cheering the terrorist attack on the bridge? Seems like it goes both ways
I can’t imagine having that feeling that you might not be here tomorrow and you know there’s that risk whatever you do. Lately I’ve had an uneasy feeling even wo watching much on here. I generally have the I’m not worried attitude, lately it just crosses my mind often.Maybe just bc if it does happen humanity may just destroy themselves and we have no choice in the matter our own selves.😢 stay safe and be prepared.
@Skimask exactly why I commented. The state I live in come next year makes me think about the safety more for my loved ones and friends. If at anytime they need me, I’m there.
@E S 🙌
@Interfacer I’ll definitely be ready sir😉😎
@Gabe Stackson No, you won’t.
Things haven’t seemed to change so much from late 1944 when V2s were starting to drop on Britain. I wasn’t born too many years later and now late in life I see the same attempts at terror in color, in near real time.
It’s war and its all about power and money to be made.
😭😭😭 Why won’t people leave each other done? Why do they think they have to tell us how to live? 😭😭😭
Greed leads to terrible outcomes… it’s a powerful emotion
Like America told the Iraqis how to live
At this point, I’m just curious of how WWIII would play out. This is getting worse and worse by the day… 😞
Well it’s start with you fighting in it if you haven’t already done you 8 years in the military(US, Canada, UK, Australia). If you did, we will just have to sit back watch the world go at it I’m afraid.
My heart goes out to those hurt or that lost family and friends in this senseless tragedy. It should never have happened. I guess I do wonder if the UN and Ukraine care about the folks in Crimea and Ukraine, why would they launch missiles into Crimea and provoke a retaliation against Ukraine in the first place? Doesn’t seem like a great defensive strategy. This is just senseless death on both sides.
Good job USA, keep funding Ukraine so this continues and you guys make more $ in equipment
I wonder what they thought would happen after they committed a huge terrorist act on Russia’s bridge?
This has been going on for so long, both sides have had plenty of time to think of a solution and negotiate a stop to this. But both a hardheaded and would rather see their people die.
I’m not a political science guy
But I have been watching them
For years
Go back 8 to 10 years see what they have to say about this
If you want to know
If you want to live in a good world you have to sop fighting. You have to take it upon yourself to be the bigger person and just walk away. That is, if you want to live. There’s always someone who will escalate. Don’t be part of the crowd.
It’s sad that mostly people that want nothing to do with war get killed or hurt. The people calling for war or ordering the strikes should send the missiles to each others homes and leave everyone else out if it.
This report has the look and feel of being staged. Perhaps the background music and the noncommittal images, the smoke and camera quality. But mostly the creepy music. Why is this style of reporting being used?
