Russian forces strike multiple bridges in Kyiv with drone attacks, damaging parts of the city’s Dnipro crossings and causing major transport disruption. Authorities report hits near the Northern Bridge, forcing closures and damage to road and trolleybus infrastructure, and strikes near the South Bridge that damage bridge supports and lead to suspensions of metro and surface traffic.
The attacks continue after similar strikes earlier in the week that already paralyzed movement across the Dnipro. Euronews reports that, following Northern Bridge disruption and the prior shutdown of the Southern Bridge, two of the eight Dnipro crossings connecting Kyiv’s halves are now affected.
Across outlets, the emphasis differs on the scope and reported background. Kyiv Post focuses on city-level impacts and repeated strikes on specific bridges, including metro suspension and ongoing inspections. Bloomberg highlights the strategic relevance of the bridges and nearby logistics infrastructure. Kyiv Post also includes statements by President Volodymyr Zelensky alleging that Russia orders changes intended to increase pressure on Kyiv by loosening constraints on strikes against civilian targets.
