Russian strike damages Kyiv's North Bridge, two days after South Bridge attack

Russian strikes damaged Kyiv's North Bridge on Saturday, two days after an attack on the South Bridge, according to Mayor Vitali Klitschko. Emergency services were dispatched, and traffic was halted in one direction across the Dnieper River. The attack damaged the road surface and trolleybus cables. The South Bridge was hit by Russian drones on Thursday and Friday, causing its closure and major traffic jams. Authorities also restricted traffic on the Paton and Metro bridges, with temporary limits on a fourth bridge, Darnytsky. Kyiv has feared attacks on its eight main road and rail bridges since Russia's 2022 invasion, as they are vital to the capital's logistics. The city is divided by the Dnieper River, making the bridges critical infrastructure.
