Two Russian drones struck an important bridge in Kyiv that spans the Dnipro River and connects the eastern and western parts of the city, Kyiv's mayor announced on Thursday, according to France 24.
The strike comes amid what the report described as a marked intensification of Moscow's attacks on the Ukrainian capital in recent days.
Extent of damage unclear
The available reporting does not specify the extent of damage to the bridge, whether it remains passable, or if there were any casualties resulting from the strike.
Bridges over the Dnipro are critical infrastructure for Kyiv, linking districts on either bank of the river, and any disruption to their use can significantly affect transport within the city.
No further details on the broader wave of strikes referenced in the report, or on Ukraine's response, were included in the available reporting.
