  "account": "Russian missile attacks have targeted a second crucial bridge in Kyiv, the city's Mayor Vitali Klitschko announced on Saturday morning. The assault damaged the road surface and overhead trolleybus wires on the Northern Bridge, according to Klitschko. This marks a shift in Moscow's strategy, as the city's Southern Bridge had been repeatedly targeted by Russian drones since Thursday, Klitschko had previously warned that such attacks were tearing Kyiv apart. The two bridges, previously unscathed, now link the eastern and western sections of the capital and symbolize a new phase in Russia's offensive. On Telegram, Klitschko reported: \"Hitting the North Bridge. Emergency services are on their way. Traffic from the left bank to the right is currently blocked.\" Previous strikes on the Southern Bridge led to a crisis meeting with Kyiv's defense council on Friday, with Klitschko describing Moscow's actions as causing a \"very dramatic situation\" as Russia targeted critical infrastructure, logistics, housing, and other key facilities.",
  "summary": "The attack on Northern Bridge comes after repeat attacks on another major bridge in recent days.",
