Russian forces escalated their attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure on Saturday, targeting a second major bridge in the capital, Kyiv, within just a few days, a development that reflects Russia's continued focus on Ukraine's transport and energy facilities.
These strikes come amid growing concerns over a broader Russian campaign targeting Ukraine's power grid, as winter approaches and increases the population's dependence on continuous electricity and heating supplies.
In response, Ukrainian forces continue to target oil facilities inside Russian territory, as part of the exchange of strikes that has continued between the two sides since the conflict began.
The extent of the damage to the targeted bridge in Kyiv remains unclear, as does whether the strike resulted in casualties or disrupted transportation within the Ukrainian capital.
This escalation comes in the context of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, which has seen repeated exchanges of strikes on critical infrastructure by both sides since the conflict began.
