Russian drones strike Kyiv’s Southern Bridge three times in several hours. Traffic restrictions spread to two other Dnipro crossings.
Russian forces continued their drone attacks on Kyiv. One of the targets was the Southern Bridge across the Dnipro River, which drones attacked three times over several hours, Ukrainska Pravda reported.
Russian drone strikes targeted the Southern Bridge in Kyiv multiple times within a span of hours, according to the Ukrainian news outlet Ukrainska Pravda. The bridge, a crucial crossing over the Dnipro River, has been closed to traffic in response to the attacks. This closure has led to traffic restrictions on two additional bridges spanning the river - the Paton Bridge and the Metro Bridge.
Consequently, public transit routes have been altered to accommodate the bridge closures, resulting in "transportation chaos" in the capital city, as reported by UNIAN.
In addition to the bridge attacks, a Russian drone strike also damaged a 25-story apartment building in Kyiv's Darnytskyi district. According to Ukraine's State Emergency Service, the incident resulted in one fatality and at least two injuries.
