Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to hold an operational meeting with his Security Council on Monday

This will take place two days after a massive explosion rocked a key bridge connecting annexed-Crimea with Russia.

The blast is humiliating for Putin, with the Russian leader labelling the move as an ‘act of terrorism’.

There are now fears Putin could respond with weapons of mass destruction.

Russian President Vladimir Putin himself presided over the opening of the £3.5bn bridge, the longest in Europe, in 2018.

“Seek revenge”

The governor of Crimea has said the attack on the republic’s Kerch Bridge had triggered a need to “seek revenge”.

Speaking about the blast, Crimea’s Russian governor Sergei Aksyonov told reporters: “The situation is manageable – it’s unpleasant, but not fatal.”

And he warned: “Of course, emotions have been triggered, and there is a healthy desire to seek revenge.”

Nobody has claimed responsibility for the attack, which killed three people.
