‘The enemy is monitoring the chats,’ say authorities in annexed Crimea, urging residents not to film Crimean bridge

Oleg Kryuchkov, advisor to the head of the administration of annexed Crimea, urged Russians not to film the Crimean bridge during active air raid alarms.

“The enemy has already struck the Crimean bridge twice. At any even theoretical threat, people and cars are removed from it. Please stay calm in such situations and forget about your phones. The enemy is monitoring the chats, they use your videos and hype,” Kryuchkov wrote on his Telegram channel.

Half an hour before Kryuchkov’s post, annexed Crimea’s operational headquarters reported that an air raid alert had been activated on the bridge, and that traffic was blocked. Traffic on the the bridge resumed about ten minutes later.
