A second major bridge in Kyiv was struck on Saturday morning, a day after Russian drone attacks on another crossing over the Dnieper River caused major traffic congestion across much of the city on Friday.
Russia renewed its call on Saturday, October 3, for diplomats and foreign nationals in Kyiv to leave the city, warning that its forces would continue carrying out "massive retaliatory strikes" against the Ukrainian capital, which has been repeatedly targeted in recent weeks.
The latest strike on a Kyiv bridge follows a pattern of attacks on the city's river crossings, which have disrupted transport links and daily life for residents in the capital.
Further specifics on casualties, structural damage, or the official Ukrainian government response were not included in the available reporting.
