Russian strikes damage second Kyiv bridge in days

Russian strikes hit Kyiv's North Bridge on Saturday, damaging the roadway and trolleybus cables, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said, cutting traffic in one direction across the Dnipro River. It is the second major bridge attacked in days. The South Bridge was hit by Russian drones on Thursday and Friday, forcing its closure and causing massive traffic jams in the city, which is divided by the Dnipro. A drone alert had been triggered earlier in the capital. Kyiv has feared attacks on its eight main road and rail bridges since the 2022 invasion, as they are vital to the city's logistics. Authorities also restricted traffic on the Paton and Metro bridges Friday, and AFP journalists observed temporary limits on a fourth, Darnytsky.
