Russian Drone Strike Hits Kyiv's Northern Bridge, Disrupting Key Transport Link

A Russian drone attack struck Kyiv's Northern Bridge on the morning of October 4, causing fires and chaos as people fled through flames and smoke, with the city's mayor confirming damage to the roadway. The bridge is a critical transport artery connecting Kyiv's right bank to major residential areas on the left bank, including Raiuzhny, Vyhurivshchina-Troieshchyna, and Voskresenka. Emergency services responded to the scene as vehicles were crossing during the attack. The Northern Bridge complex spans 816 meters over the Dnieper River and 732 meters over the Desenka River. This follows recent Russian strikes on Kyiv's bridges, including the Southern Bridge being hit on October 2 and the Northern Bridge being targeted the previous day.
