Russian strikes hit Ukrainian power stations and Black Sea cargo ship

Russia announced Monday that its armed forces struck three electrical substations across Ukraine overnight and attacked a cargo ship in the Black Sea, claiming the vessel was supplying weapons to Ukraine. The Russian Defense Ministry said targets included substations in Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Cherkasy, and Vinnytsia regions, plus a factory in Poltava. The ministry stated the ship was hit southwest of Odesa while transporting arms and military equipment for Ukrainian forces. Meanwhile, Kyiv's northern bridge partially reopened to traffic with restrictions after sustaining damage from Russian missile and drone attacks, with one lane open in each direction across the Dnipro River. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko announced the reopening following technical inspections. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has ordered the government to prepare contingency measures, including free public transport and backup buses, anticipating further Russian strikes on the city's transport infrastructure.
