  "account": "Russian forces struck a major bridge in Kyiv on Saturday, Mayor Vitali Klitschko announced on Telegram. This comes after a series of attacks on bridges crossing the Dnipro river, which divide the Ukrainian capital into eastern and western sections. The latest target is the Northern Bridge, according to officials. The attack follows a drone alert and has caused significant disruption to traffic across the bridge, with the road surface and trolleybus wires damaged. Emergency services are on the scene. Earlier this week, the Southern Bridge was hit in a wave of strikes involving fast-moving, jet-powered drones, leading to severe traffic congestion and road closures. This is the eighth such crossing to be targeted since the strikes began on Thursday. The attacks on Kyiv's infrastructure have been described by Klitschko as tearing the city apart, even though the capital has largely avoided the heavy fighting that has taken place in the eastern part of the country since Russia's full-scale invasion began in February 2022.",
  "summary": "The attack on the Northern Bridge comes a day after the Southern Bridge was hit, in a wave of strikes that city officials say is ‘tearing Kyiv apart’.",
