Russia Targets Kyiv's Vital Dnipro Bridges in New Infrastructure Campaign

Russia has targeted bridges in Kyiv six times in the past three days, striking both the southern Pivdennyi and northern Pivnichnyi bridges, injuring two people and disrupting traffic. The attacks mark a new phase in Moscow's campaign against Ukrainian infrastructure far from front lines. The bridges crossing the Dnipro River are vital for Kyiv's three million residents, connecting the residential eastern bank to the western side with most services and businesses. Authorities have restricted traffic on five of six road bridges, causing major congestion and raising fears the city could be effectively split in two. The strikes expand Russia's broader campaign against warehouses, trains, data centers, and power grids, which Moscow plans to intensify during winter. Ukrainian officials warn the goal is to devastate the economy and break public morale, with bridge collapse posing a severe logistical nightmare for the country.
