Russian forces struck a bridge in the Kyiv region that Ukrainian forces have used to move troops across the Dnieper River, according to a report from TASS citing Russia's defense ministry.
The report said Russian forces continue to strike Ukrainian infrastructure facilities and seagoing vessels described as being used in support of Ukraine's armed forces.
TASS's report did not provide specifics on the scale of damage to the bridge, casualties, or Ukraine's response to the claim.
Russia has repeatedly targeted bridges, rail lines and other infrastructure in Ukraine throughout the war, citing their use in military logistics, though such claims from Russia's defense ministry are issued by one party to the conflict and are not independently verified in this report.
No additional details on the timing or specific location of the strike were included in the available report.
