Kyiv Mayor reported that Russia struck the city's Northern Bridge, describing it as the second major bridge in the capital to be hit in a short span of time. The attack follows repeated strikes on another principal crossing in recent days, city officials said.
The mayor's office identified the target as the Northern Bridge but did not provide further immediate details on damage, casualties or the time of the strike. Independent confirmation and verification of the claim were not available at the time of the announcement.
Bridges in Kyiv serve as key transport arteries for civilian movement and logistics, and attacks on such infrastructure risk disrupting traffic and complicating emergency response. The report of a second major bridge strike in quick succession highlights an escalation in strikes on the capital's critical transport links.
City authorities and emergency services are expected to assess the immediate impact and coordinate any necessary repairs or traffic restrictions. The situation remains fluid as further information and independent reporting are awaited to corroborate and expand on the initial statements from the mayor's office.
