Russian forces have struck Kyiv’s Northern Bridge, according to the city’s mayor, marking a second major bridge attack in the capital in recent days.
The Northern Bridge, one of Kyiv’s main crossings over the Dnipro River, was hit by a strike that damaged its structure and disrupted traffic. The mayor confirmed the attack and said emergency services were assessing the damage.
Earlier this week, another key bridge in the city suffered a similar assault, underscoring the growing threat to Kyiv’s critical infrastructure amid the ongoing conflict with Russia.
Local authorities have called for heightened security measures on the city’s remaining bridges and are working to restore traffic flow where possible. Residents were advised to use alternate routes.
These attacks are part of a broader pattern of Russian strikes on Ukrainian transport links, which have been a focus of the conflict since it began in 2022. The Ukrainian government has repeatedly condemned the targeting of civilian infrastructure.
