War in Ukraine: Another major Kyiv bridge hit by Russian strike

Another major bridge in Kyiv was hit by a Russian strike early Saturday, according to reports from the scene.

The bridge in question is the Pivnichny bridge, located further north in the Ukrainian capital on the Dnipro River, which was targeted after the Pivdenny bridge had already sustained damage in Russian bombardments on Friday, leading to the suspension of traffic on that structure.

Kyiv's transport infrastructure, particularly its bridges spanning the Dnipro, has come under repeated attack as part of the broader Russian strikes targeting Ukrainian territory.

These successive strikes on major bridges in the capital raise concerns about the city's ability to maintain continuity on its essential traffic routes, particularly for the movement of people and goods between different districts of Kyiv.

The situation continues to be closely monitored, with Ukrainian authorities not having released, at this stage, a detailed assessment of any additional damage or casualties linked to this latest strike.
