Russian forces struck Kyiv's Northern Bridge in fresh attacks on Ukraine's capital, causing significant damage to the structure and severing power lines that supply the city's trolleybus network. The strike forced a suspension of traffic across the crossing, one of the key transport arteries connecting different parts of the city. Local authorities confirmed the damage to infrastructure but provided no immediate estimates on repair timelines.
Beyond the bridge strike, Moscow claimed its forces also targeted a logistics hub in the city, aiming at what it described as supply distribution centres. The Russian military additionally reported hitting a cargo vessel, though independent verification of these claims remains unavailable at this stage.
The attacks underline the continued pressure on Ukrainian civilian infrastructure and essential services. Kyiv has faced repeated strikes on bridges, power stations, and transportation networks throughout the conflict, with each assault complicating life for residents and straining the city's operational capacity. Repair efforts continue amid ongoing security threats in the region.
