Russian strikes on Kyiv damage bridge and energy infrastructure, injuring five

20minutes.fr (French) —

Russian strikes damaged a key bridge and energy infrastructure in Kyiv and its region overnight, disrupting supplies to the capital, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said Saturday. At least five people were injured, including a 14-year-old. Klitschko described the capital's energy situation as "extremely difficult," affecting heating and water systems. The North Bridge over the Dnieper River was hit, blocking traffic, and a kindergarten building was destroyed. President Zelensky had warned of planned strikes on civilian and energy infrastructure. The bridge was previously struck in October, prompting anti-drone netting. Ukraine fears a difficult winter amid intense Russian bombardment, and Zelensky vowed a response. Trilateral talks between Kyiv, Washington, and Moscow are scheduled for November 10-11 in Abu Dhabi.
