Russia Strikes Key Kyiv Bridge, Halting Traffic Across Dnipro River

Russia struck a significant bridge in Kyiv early Saturday, damaging its road surface and overhead wires, according to Mayor Vitali Klitschko. Traffic across the Dnepr River bridge is currently halted. The northern bridge connects several major residential areas of the Ukrainian capital. In recent days, Russia has repeatedly targeted a southern bridge, which also carries a metro line, disrupting city traffic. These strikes aim to complicate life in Ukraine, following reports that Russia plans to fully destroy the country's energy system. Ukrainian officials say Moscow is targeting production facilities and warehouses to cripple the economy.
