As reported by the Russian security services group FSB, eight individuals, including three Russians, have been apprehended in connection with the Crimean footbridge explosion.

The news article focuses on the apprehension of people connected with the outbreak of the Crimean footbridge.

Last Wednesday, the Russian intelligence agencies (FSB) announced that they had detained 8 suspects in association with the planning of the bombing on the road connecting Moscow and Crimean on Sunday.

The FSB reported that five Russians and “3 Ukrainian and Armenian nationals” had been detained in a release.

Russian intelligence agencies had said that the explosive material was hidden in 22 containers of production of plastic sheets, which together weighed 22,770 kg.

Following the security firm, the bombs were transported by boat from the Ukrainian port of Odesa to the Bulgarian port of Rousse in early October. After that, boats traveled through Georgia’s Poti harbor and were transferred to Yerevan before reaching this point by overland in Moscow.

Apparently, Russian intelligence agencies assert that perhaps the incendiary device arrived in Moscow on August 10 in a vehicle with Georgian registration before traveling to the Crimean bordering Russian province of Krasnodar on October 6, 2 days before even the incident.

Following the FSB, the Ukrainian intelligence community planned the “terrorist operation,” An operative in Kyiv had arranged the transportation of the explosives and maintained communication with all the middlemen.

Other analysts have theorized that the explosion didn’t result from a truck bomb upon that crossing itself but rather from underneath the overpass.

Moscow conducted extensive air attacks throughout Crimea on both Monday and Tuesday in response to the assault on the infrastructure.

On Saturday, a Ukrainian lawmaker called the Russian investigation into the bridge explosion “nonsense.” The FSB and the Russian investigative committee were referred to as “false entities that assist the Putin government” by military intelligence spokesperson Andriy Yusov
