  "account": "On October 4, Russian forces struck Kyiv's Northern Bridge once again, injuring two individuals. Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko confirmed that one of the victims was taken to a hospital. Scenes online depict a drone damaging the bridge's road surface. In response, Kyiv implemented temporary public transit adjustments. Buses No. 22 and No. 91 have been rerouted to alternate routes, connecting the left bank with the right via the Darnytskyi Bridge. Trolleybus services No. 29, 30, 31, and 47 have been modified to operate from specific locations on either bank. Furthermore, services for buses Nos. 21, 73, 101, and 114 were halted due to the bridge's closure. The strike occurred concurrently with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz's visit to Kyiv. Merz announced a €1.1 billion aid package for military support and €394 million for energy sector recovery. Merz expressed his commitment to providing Ukraine with unwavering support during challenging times. Earlier incidents include Russian drone attacks on Kyiv's Southern Bridge on October 1 and 2, which led to the bridge's closure. By September 28, Ukraine's air defense forces had successfully intercepted and destroyed approximately 70% of Russian drone attacks, including jet-powered Shaheds.",
