Russian drone and aerial attacks disrupt transportation in Kyiv by closing or partially closing bridges over the Dnipro River, with at least one person reported killed in the latest strikes.
Several outlets report that traffic builds up after closures affecting key crossings that connect western and eastern parts of the city. DW says multiple bridges are affected, while other reports specifically cite partial closure of three bridges, and one outlet describes a complete closure in both directions on the Southern Bridge, indicating the disruptions vary by crossing.
Outlets also differ in emphasis: some focus on the fatality and broader impact on the capital’s traffic network (DW), while others frame the bridge disruptions as part of a “new disruption tactic,” highlighting how the attacks create bottlenecks by restricting movement across the river. Despite these differences, all accounts describe significant congestion and constrained routes following the strikes.
