Quote: "Of course Russia will retaliate. The Ministry of Defence is preparing suitable measures."

Details: Putin also said that the attack on the bridge was "insignificant" because it has not been used to transport weapons and ammunition for a long time.

He also stressed that he believes the attack on the bridge to be a terrorist attack.

Background: 

The Crimean Bridge was attacked at three in the morning on Monday, 17 July. The bridge connects Russian-occupied Crimea and mainland Russia.

Russian media reported that two drones were deployed in the attack, which caused one of the bridge spans to tilt. The operation of the ferry crossing between the occupied peninsula and the Russian Krasnodar Krai has been stopped, and car traffic on the bridge has also been temporarily suspended. Traffic was detoured via the occupied territories of mainland Ukraine.
