A second major bridge in Kyiv has been hit by Russian strikes, according to reports on Saturday.
The Ukrainian capital's southern bridge had already been targeted on Thursday and Friday. On Saturday, it was the northern bridge that sustained damage, notably to the roadway and to the cables powering the trolleybus network.
These successive strikes on major infrastructure in Kyiv come as part of the broader Russian bombing campaign against Ukraine, and directly affect traffic and public transport in the capital.
The full extent of the damage to the northern bridge and its consequences for traffic had not yet been fully established as of Saturday.
Ukrainian authorities had not immediately released a detailed assessment of possible casualties or a timeline for repairs.
