Russian Strike Hits Kyiv Bridge for Third Day

A bridge over the Dnipro River in Kyiv has been hit by Russian attacks for the third consecutive day, this time targeting the city's North Bridge. Emergency services are on their way, and the extent of the damage is not yet known. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported the attack early Saturday. The recent strikes follow multiple drone attacks on the South Bridge, part of an escalation against infrastructure in the Ukrainian capital and other cities. Three bridges were partially closed after Friday's attacks. The assaults aim to disrupt daily life in Kyiv, according to the mayor, and have caused major traffic problems. The city spans both sides of the Dnipro, making its six bridges vital for commuters. The AP notes this may signal a new tactic, as Russia previously targeted residential blocks, shopping centers, and gas stations.
