Russian Missiles Damage Kyiv's North Bridge, Backup Routes Planned

A Russian missile strike damaged the North Bridge in Kyiv, halting traffic and prompting the development of alternative transport routes for the city. President Volodymyr Zelensky reported four ballistic missiles hit the bridge overnight, part of a broader Russian campaign against Dnipro River crossings. He stated current transport reserves are insufficient and tasked the Ministry of Internal Affairs with creating backup plans. Zelensky noted the strikes are causing significant damage to energy and logistics due to a shortage of Patriot systems, leading to power deficits in Kyiv and other regions despite sufficient generation.
