  "account": "Russian forces struck a major bridge in Kyiv on Saturday, according to the city's mayor. The attack targeted the Northern Bridge spanning the Dnipro river, intensifying Moscow's assault on infrastructure in the Ukrainian capital. Mayor Vitali Klitschko confirmed the incident via Telegram, stating that the bridge's road surface and trolleybus wires sustained damage. Traffic across the bridge connecting the left and right banks is currently halted. This is the latest in a series of Russian drone strikes, which hit Kyiv's Southern Bridge twice in the past two days, causing significant traffic disruptions in the city. There are eight bridges spanning the Dnipro River between Kyiv's western and eastern banks. Following Russia's February 2022 invasion of Ukraine, the nation has faced numerous Russian drone attacks, with the capital being a frequent target. Last week, Russia initiated what Ukrainians perceived as a winter bombing campaign, primarily targeting power supply facilities in Kyiv. Despite claims of civilian targeting, Moscow has not acknowledged this allegation.",
  "summary": "The attack on Kyiv's Northern Bridge comes after the Southern Bridge on the Dnipro river was hit multiple times by Russia's drones.",
