The bridge that connects Russia to occupied Crimea has been attacked at least twice before.
Crimea's Russia-appointed governor Sergei Aksyonov later said that a third rocket had been shot down over the Kerch Strait.An adviser to Mr Aksyonov said that traffic was halted and the smoke was an intentional "screen" generated by the military.
While Kyiv has not confirmed the attack, nor the weapons used, it would be the latest in a number of Ukrainian attempts to damage the bridge. Last month, the Ukrainian website Euromaidan Press claimed that converted S-200 missiles had been used to attack the bridge as well as two military targets in Russia's Rostov and Bryansk Oblasts.Kyiv did not officially confirm it carried out the attack, but a source in its security service told BBC Russian it was behind it and that water-based drones had been used.Footage from the time showed a huge fireball erupting as a number of cars and lorries made their way across the bridge.
