Russian Strike Hits Kyiv’s North Bridge for Second Day
Russian forces struck Kyiv’s North Bridge for the second consecutive day on Sunday, Oct. 4, blasting a crater into the road deck, Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported. The repeated bombardment follows a Saturday morning jet-drone hit that wounded two civilians and severed trolleybus lines, compounding transit disruption across the capital as Moscow systematically targets Dnipro River crossings.
Russian forces struck Kyiv's North Bridge for the second day in a row on Sunday, Oct. 4, causing significant damage to the road deck, according to Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko. The attack marked the second consecutive aerial assault on the strategic river crossing in just 24 hours. Municipal emergency response teams and transit engineers were dispatched to assess the extent of the damage.
Footage from local monitoring channels and eyewitnesses showed a detonation crater in the road surface. The bridge, spanning the Dnipro River, had previously been hit by a Russian jet-powered loitering munition on Saturday, Oct. 3, damaging the road deck and cutting power to trolleybuses, leading to a complete closure of vehicular traffic.
Two civilians were injured in Saturday's attack, with one receiving emergency treatment at the scene and the other hospitalized. The strikes disrupted Kyiv's municipal transit system, forcing the closure of multiple bus lines and rerouting others across the Podilskyi Bridge to maintain connections between the city's eastern and western sectors. On Friday, Russian drone strikes forced the closure of the South Bridge to vehicular traffic.
