Repeated Russian strikes hit Kyiv bridges over four days
The BBC reports consecutive-day strikes on the Northern Bridge and multiple hits on the Southern Bridge; details of damage and operational impact remain unclear.
Russian strikes have targeted major bridges in Kyiv over four days, according to the BBC. The Northern Bridge, known in Ukrainian as Pivnichnyi, was hit for a second consecutive day, while the Southern Bridge, or Pivdennyi, was struck multiple times earlier in the week.
The latest reported attack coincided with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s visit to Kyiv on Sunday. BBC Ukraine correspondent Dan Johnson reported from near the Northern Bridge.
The supplied BBC account does not specify casualties, the extent of damage from the latest strikes or their operational impact.
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko reportedly said an earlier strike damaged a heating main and temporarily disrupted hot water in the Desnyanskyi district. The duration of the disruption was not specified.
