A drone strike attributed to Russian forces hit a school in Ukraine's capital Kyiv and struck the city's main bridge, authorities said, in the latest wave of aerial attacks that have disrupted transport and damaged infrastructure.
The strikes came as Moscow has intensified an air campaign against Ukrainian targets, with the assault on civilian infrastructure highlighting the continued pressure on cities across the country. The impact on the main bridge caused interruptions to movement and transit into and out of parts of the city, complicating commutes and logistics.
Local emergency services responded to the scene of the school strike and the bridge damage. Details on casualties or the extent of structural damage have not been fully disclosed, and investigations into the incidents are ongoing.
The attack adds to a pattern of drone and missile strikes that have repeatedly targeted urban areas and transport links since Russia launched its broad offensive. Analysts say such strikes aim to degrade both military logistics and civilian resilience, intensifying challenges for Ukraine's authorities and residents.
International reaction to the wider campaign has included condemnations of attacks on civilian infrastructure, while calls for increased support to help Ukraine repair and secure critical transport routes have grown louder. The strikes on Kyiv underscore the continued vulnerability of urban centers to aerial assaults as the conflict continues.
