Two drone strikes were recorded near a support structure of Kyiv's South Bridge, prompting authorities to suspend traffic across the span, according to reports.
The bridge is a significant crossing in the Ukrainian capital, and officials moved quickly to close it to traffic as a precaution following the strikes.
The attack is part of a broader pattern of Russian drone and missile strikes on infrastructure across Ukraine, including in and around Kyiv, since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022.
No details on casualties or the extent of structural damage to the bridge were included in the available report, and it was not immediately clear when traffic would resume.
