Five killed as Russia and Ukraine trade strikes; Kyiv bridge hit again

At least five people were killed in a series of long-range strikes exchanged between Kyiv and Moscow on Saturday, as Russia attacked a second key bridge in Kyiv within two days. Russia struck a Liberian-flagged ship in Ukraine's Odesa region, killing one person and injuring three, while a Ukrainian strike on the Russia-occupied Luhansk region killed two. Russian-installed authorities reported one death in Zaporizhia and one in Russia's Belgorod region from Ukrainian drone attacks. A Russian attack on Kyiv's Northern Bridge injured two people. Russia's Foreign Ministry warned diplomats and foreigners to leave Kyiv, citing risk of harm. The war, now in its fifth year, continues with Russia increasing attacks on civilian infrastructure using jet-powered drones, while Ukraine targets Russian oil and military facilities.
