Russian drone strike damages Kyiv's Northern Bridge, injuring two

A Russian drone struck Kyiv's Northern Bridge on Saturday, October 3, with the impact captured on video by a traffic participant and posted to social media. The attack damaged the roadway and trolleybus cables, halting traffic from the left to the right bank. The strike occurred around 6:57 AM, prompting emergency services to respond. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko confirmed two people were injured, one treated on-site and the other hospitalized before being discharged for outpatient care. The Northern Bridge, Kyiv's second-largest, was hit shortly after repeated attacks on the Southern Bridge over the past two days, which also restricted traffic. Russia issued a new warning for foreign diplomats and citizens to leave the city, threatening continued "massive retaliatory strikes."
