leprogres.fr (French) —

Russian strikes damaged Kyiv's North Bridge on Saturday, two days after an attack on the South Bridge, according to Ukrainian capital's 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, forcing its closure and causing major traffic jams in the city. Kyiv has feared attacks on its eight main road and rail bridges since Russia's 2022 invasion. Authorities also restricted traffic on the Paton and Metro bridges Friday, with temporary limits on the Darnytsky bridge.
