Kyiv fully closes Pivnichnyi Bridge after Russian attack damages structure

Kyiv has fully closed the Pivnichnyi (Northern) Bridge in both directions following a Russian attack on Saturday, November 7, that damaged the structure, with traffic temporarily halted. Police chief Oleksii Biloshytskyi announced the closure, also restricting traffic on Volnovaska Street, urging residents to plan routes in advance. The bridge sustained damage to its roadway, trolleybus lines, and power lines, while five trucks were damaged by the blast wave. The attack followed a ballistic missile strike on the capital overnight, with Mayor Vitali Klitschko stating experts are assessing the damage. Metro service has resumed, though temporary suspensions may occur due to power fluctuations.
