Kyiv attack toll rises to 5 injured, as North Bridge damaged

The number of injured individuals in Kyiv following a Russian attack overnight into Saturday has risen to five, according to Ukraine's State Emergency Service. The attack occurred in the Darnytsky and Sviatoshynsky districts of the capital on the morning of November 7. In the Darnytsky district, a UAV struck a two-story private residential house, leading to a fire that was extinguished by firefighters.

Meanwhile, in the Sviatoshynsky district, firefighters contained a fire involving trash at an abandoned industrial site and a small fire on the roof of a non-residential two-story building.

Five people have been injured in the capital, including a 14-year-old child. Two of the injured have been hospitalized. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported on Telegram that the North Bridge over the Dnipro River sustained damage during the attack, and the bridge was subsequently closed to traffic. Road maintenance crews and municipal workers are currently working on repairing the North Bridge, which has suffered damage to its road surface, trolleybus overhead contact line, and power transmission line. The blast wave also damaged five trucks parked near the bridge.

The North Bridge is one of six operational bridges connecting the right-bank and left-bank parts of Kyiv, with several trolleybus and bus routes utilizing the bridge.
