Russian strikes hit Kyiv's Northern Bridge, second major crossing attacked in days

Russian strikes hit Kyiv's Northern Bridge on Saturday, two days after an attack on the Southern Bridge, Mayor Vitali Klitschko announced. The bridge was closed to traffic in one direction, with road surface and trolleybus cables damaged. A drone alert preceded the strike, and emergency services were dispatched. The Southern Bridge was hit Thursday and Friday, causing its closure and major traffic jams across the Dnipro River, which divides the city. Since Russia's 2022 invasion, Kyiv has feared attacks on its eight key road and rail bridges. Traffic was also restricted on the Paton and Metro bridges Friday, and temporary limits were observed on the Darnytsky bridge.
