The Crimean Bridge, which links Crimea and Russia, has experienced record-breaking traffic in recent hours as people rush to leave, reports say.

The bridge was opened in 2018, four years after Russia annexed the Crimean Peninsula. 

The apparent movement of people comes after it emerged an ammunition depot had exploded near the town of Dzhankoi this morning.

Sky News understands the hit was carried out by Ukrainian special forces, although there has been no official confirmation of this. 

Meanwhile, Russian-installed authorities say train journeys have been halted as railway lines suffer damage due to the strikes across Crimea.
