Russia strikes Kyiv bridges, disrupting traffic; Ukraine weighs partial truce proposal

Russian aerial attacks forced partial closure of three Kyiv bridges over the Dnipro River on Friday, causing major traffic disruptions, as Ukraine's foreign minister said the U.S., India, Turkey, and Egypt proposed a partial truce with Russia. The truce proposals would halt attacks on energy infrastructure and Black Sea shipping, with Ukraine ready to accept if both elements are combined. Kyiv's mayor reported one bridge was hit again Friday afternoon, while residents described severe traffic jams. The war has been deadlocked along the front line, though Ukraine recaptured nearly 300 square kilometers between March and September. Russia suffered over 46,000 casualties in September, according to the Institute for the Study of War.
