Russia hits second major bridge in Ukraine's capital Kyiv

What happened

Russian forces hit a major bridge in Kyiv that connects the left and right banks of the Dnipro River, as well as a logistics center near the capital overnight, in the latest series of drone attacks on Ukraine’s civil infrastructure. The strike on the Pivnichnyi (Northern) Bridge comes after repeat attacks on another major bridge in Ukraine's capital. The Ukrainian capital’s left and right banks are connected by eight bridges — and Russia has been targeting both its North and South bridges in recent days. The bridges, used by many commuters in the Ukrainian capital, are the latest target in a broad Russian bombing campaign against infrastructure.
