Russia hits Kyiv's Northern Bridge, damaging key Dnipro crossing

Russia struck Kyiv's Northern Bridge across the Dnipro river on Saturday, damaging the road surface and trolleybus wires, with no casualties reported. Traffic from the left bank to the right bank is blocked as emergency services respond. The attack follows multiple drone strikes on the city's Southern Bridge over the past two days, causing traffic chaos. Russia's Foreign Ministry urged foreign diplomats and nationals to leave Kyiv, warning of continued massive retaliatory strikes. Moldovan President Maia Sandu condemned the attack, reporting five Russian weapons violated its airspace and exploded on its soil. The strikes mark an escalation in Russia's winter bombing campaign targeting Kyiv's infrastructure, with eight bridges connecting the city's banks.
