A Russian strike damaged Kyiv’s Northern Bridge on Saturday morning, blocking traffic after harming the road surface and trolleybus overhead wires, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said.
Klitschko said the Northern Bridge was the second major bridge in the capital targeted in recent days. The Southern Bridge was hit several times by Russian drones on Thursday and Friday, causing major travel disruption, according to the BBC. The two bridges connect Kyiv’s eastern and western areas. Klitschko said neither had been struck before Thursday and described the attacks as “tearing Kyiv apart.”
The BBC reported that the bridge strikes came amid increased Russian attacks on critical infrastructure in Kyiv. The reports did not provide details on casualties or when traffic on the Northern Bridge might resume.
