A Russian drone strike targeted Kyiv's North Bridge during a visit by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, according to Mayor Vitali Klitschko.

The strike occurred as Merz arrived in Kyiv to express support for Ukraine and President Volodymyr Zelensky. Ukrainian authorities had warned of drones approaching the capital shortly before the attack. Merz is expected to announce €1 billion in military aid and €350 million for energy infrastructure repairs. He stated Ukraine needs support "more than ever" and that Russia's war machine would turn against Europe if not stopped.
