Russian Drone Hits Kyiv Bridge During German Chancellor's Visit

A Russian drone struck Kyiv's Northern Bridge over the Dnipro River on Sunday, injuring two people, as air raid sirens blared during German Chancellor Friedrich Merz's visit to the Ukrainian capital. Merz pledged continued support for Ukraine, announcing further military and energy assistance, including German funding for drone production. He condemned Russia's actions, stating that if Russia is not stopped, its war machine will turn against Europe. The bridge strike is part of a wider Russian campaign targeting infrastructure, including transport and energy facilities, raising concerns about power supplies through winter. The EU reaffirmed its support, with its delegation staying in Kyiv despite Russian warnings.
