Russia also said it intercepted 20 drones swarming over the Crimean Peninsula earlier, the third day in a row that Russian officials report a foiled drone attack. The Kremlin, which has accused Ukraine of ramping up drone attacks on Moscow and Crimea, blamed Ukraine on Saturday for the drones and the downed missiles. While Kyiv has not officially claimed responsibility for such attacks, Ukrainian officials have recently suggested that Moscow residents should expect daily attacks.

Here’s the latest on the war and its ripple effects across the globe.

The Russian-appointed head of Crimea said there was no major damage and no casualties in the bridge incident. He said that three missiles were thwarted, although Russia’s Defense Ministry reported downing two. Unverified footage showed smoke rising from the bridge, a prized project for Russian President Vladimir Putin that was built shortly after annexation. The bridge has been a target of attacks — including by drone boats in July and an explosion in October that damaged the roadway.

Russia’s Defense Ministry said air defenses shot down 14 drones over Crimea overnight and that electronic warfare systems blocked the rest. It also said there were no casualties or major damage.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky fired all heads of regional military recruitment centers in a sweeping move he described as a crackdown on corruption. He said officials faced accusations such as taking bribes or the “illegal transportation” of people across the border to Ukraine’s western neighbors to avoid the military draft. Last week, Zelensky said an audit of the centers found “disgusting” malfeasance.

The Department of Treasury imposed sanctions on four men who served on the board of Alfa Group, one of Russia’s largest financial and investment giants. The U.S. targets include Russian billionaires Mikhail Fridman and Petr Aven, who have been fighting European Union and British sanctions imposed on them during the war. Russian elites “should disabuse themselves of the notion that they can operate business as usual,” Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Wally Adeyemo said in a statement.

Shelling killed an elderly woman early Saturday in Ukraine’s Kupyansk, said the regional governor, Oleh Synyehubov, who has accused Russian forces of intensifying attacks there. Moscow and Kyiv have reported a recent escalation in fighting in Kupyansk, in the Kharkiv region of northeast Ukraine, and Kupyansk authorities ordered a mass evacuation of civilians.

Security is becoming “increasingly distant” for Moscow residents, Andriy Yusov, a spokesman for Ukraine’s military intelligence, said in an interview with the Kyiv Post as Russia reported an uptick in attempted drone attacks in recent weeks. He said it would be “it would be logical to assume an increase in daily attacks.”

Tensions between Ukraine and Poland over grain hint at exhaustion from the war, Post journalists report. While Poland has been among Ukraine’s staunchest supporters, the two neighbors face a growing dispute over Ukrainian grain imports, which Poland is allowed to ban to protect its farmers under a deal brokered by the European Union.

Zelensky spoke with the president of Zambia about the importance of the Black Sea grain deal, the Ukrainian presidential office said Friday. Russia’s withdrawal last month from the U.N.-backed deal halted the safe export of grain from Ukraine, raising worries for countries struggling with food insecurity. In Zambia, 48 percent of people are unable to meet their minimum calories requirements, according to the World Food Program.

Some critics contend the campaign is aimed at appeasing Western allies and has not targeted corruption at the highest levels, he writes.
