An important bridge in Kyiv, the North Bridge, was hit by Russian strikes on Saturday, just days after an attack targeting the South Bridge of the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko announced, according to France 24.
This new strike is part of a series of Russian attacks targeting transport infrastructure in the Ukrainian capital, according to France 24's correspondent in Kyiv, Gulliver Cragg. The South Bridge had already been targeted in the preceding days.
France 24 did not specify, based on the information available, the exact extent of the damage caused to the North Bridge or whether there were any casualties linked to this strike. Ukrainian authorities have also not immediately released a detailed toll.
These strikes add to the broader campaign of Russian bombing targeting Ukraine's energy and transport infrastructure since the start of the full-scale invasion in 2022, a tactic regularly denounced by Kyiv and its Western allies.
Further details are expected from Kyiv's municipal authorities regarding the condition of the North Bridge and any possible traffic disruptions.
