The FSB has arrested eight people over the Crimean bridge attack while revealing an X-ray of what it says was the bomb that caused the blast.
Moscow's spies say the men - five Russians and three people from Ukraine and Armenia - worked with a Ukrainian agent named 'Ivan Ivanovic' to ship the 23-ton device through four countries over two months before it detonated on the bridge.
They say the bomb - disguised as industrial plastic sheeting - began its journey in Odesa, in southern Ukraine, before going via Bulgaria to Armenia, then across Georgia and into Russia before it was diverted to Simferopol, in Crimea.
At some point a truck carrying the device was X-rayed. The FSB says accompanying paperwork was changed at least twice to conceal its origins, under the direct orders of Ukrainian security service chief Kirill Budanov.
Ukraine has called the FSB's allegations 'nonsense' and has not claimed responsibility for the blast, which partially crippled the main road and rail link between Russia and occupied Crimea.
