Air Force Spokesperson: Russian forces launch several ballistic missile strikes on Pivdenny Bridge in Kyiv
During the latest attack, Russian forces launched several ballistic missile strikes against the Southern Bridge (Pivdenny) in Kyiv.
Russian forces conducted several ballistic missile strikes on the Pivdenny Bridge in Kyiv, according to Air Force spokesperson Yuriy Ihnat. The spokesperson explained that while bridges are challenging to destroy, repairing the bridge deck will require considerable time. The attack involved 16 ballistic missiles, specifically Iskander-M or S-400 surface-to-air guided missiles, employed by the adversary.
Over the past two weeks, Russian forces have intensified their missile strikes on Kyiv, launching attacks in multiple waves throughout the night, combined with drone strikes. Ihnat highlighted that the destruction of bridges in Kyiv by Russian shelling is a possibility if the adversary is willing to invest significant resources.
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported that the enemy damaged metro infrastructure on the Pivdenny Bridge, suspending metro service between Osokorky and Chervony Khutir stations on the green line. Consequently, vehicular traffic has been redirected via alternative routes.
