Two months of preventive detention ordered against five defendants for the explosion on the Kerch bridge

MADRID, 14 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) -

A Crimean court has ordered this Friday that five of the eight arrested for their alleged relationship with the explosion recorded last week on the Kerch bridge, which connects the peninsula - annexed in 2014 by Russia - with Russian territory, remain under custody for a period of two months.

Sources quoted by the Russian news agency Interfax have indicated that "all of them are suspects" and have added that "it has been determined that they remain detained until December 8." Those affected by the measure have been identified as Artem Azatián, Georgi Azatián, Roman Solomko, Vladimir Zlob and Artur Terchanián.

According to the Federal Security Service (FSB), all the detainees, among whom there are also citizens of Ukraine and Armenia, participated in some way in the preparation of an action that partially destroyed the bridge and left at least three dead.

Russian investigators have attributed the attack -- "terrorist" in the eyes of Moscow -- to a concealed explosive device that was initially shipped from the port of Odessa in Ukraine to Ruse in Bulgaria. The cargo trail would continue through Georgia and Armenia. Russia has targeted kyiv for its alleged responsibility in the event.
