Colonel General Andrey Kartapolov, who heads the defence committee of the State Duma, has warned of retaliation over the bridge explosion which killed three people.

He said: “There will be an answer” that “all [Ukrainians] will feel” from the Russian side if Ukraine is found to be responsible for the blast that blew damaged the Kerch Bridge.

He added: “What the answer will be, we will find out.”
