Russian drones strike support structure of Kyiv’s South Bridge

On October 1, Russian drones targeted near the support structure of Kyiv's South Bridge, causing a blast wave that dispersed dust into a moving metro carriage, though no injuries were reported. Mayor Vitali Klitschko confirmed the attack and announced the suspension of metro and surface public transport across the bridge for inspections.

The municipal bridge maintenance company, Kyivavtodor-Mist, is currently examining the bridge's condition. Trains on the metro's Green Line and several surface transit routes have been rerouted, operating only on specific underground sections. Meanwhile, Russian drones also struck a school in Kyiv's Solomianskyi District, damaging the exterior and igniting a fire, but fortunately, there were no casualties as students and staff were in a secure underground bomb shelter at the time.

Overnight, Russian drones launched a barrage across Kyiv, setting fires in residential areas and warehouses, with one person injured. A total of 107 drones were involved in the overnight attack, with impact locations scattered across four areas.
