  1. Según precisó Aksiónov, 12 personas se encontraban en las plataformas en el momento del ataque, cinco de las cuales fueron evacuadas de las instalaciones, mientras continúa la búsqueda de los desaparecidos.

    El Ministerio de Defensa de Rusia ha lanzado una operación de rescate con participación de lanchas patrulleras y de aviación, indicó el jefe de la república. "Las patrulleras y los aviones de patrulla están allí, garantizando que se lleve a efecto la operación de rescate", subrayó.

    La semana pasada, el mayor general de las Fuerzas Armadas de Ucrania, Dmitri Márchenko, reveló que el puente de Crimea, que conecta la parte continental de Rusia con la península, pasaría a ser el principal objetivo militar, una vez reciban las armas prometidas por Occidente.
