Putin to chair meeting of Russia’s Security Council on Monday

Russian President Vladimir Putin will hold an operational meeting with the permanent members of his country’s Security Council on Monday.

"Tomorrow the President is scheduled to hold a meeting with the permanent members of the Security Council," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, according to TASS, a Russian state-owned news agency.

Peskov did not specify whether the situation with the Crimean bridge would be discussed at the meeting. "We'll let you know following the results [of the meeting]," he said.

On Saturday morning, a truck exploded on the Crimean Bridge, collapsing two eastbound parts of its road section and subsequently setting ablaze a train of fuel tanks on a separate, adjacent rail portion of the bridge. As a result of the blast, three people were killed.

Russia formed a commission after the incident. Rail traffic was restored on the bridge, which was also partly reopened for buses and automobiles.
