Russian drones strike Kyiv’s Northern Bridge as attacks shift toward crossings
Jet-powered Russian drones have begun targeting bridges in Kyiv, including the Northern Bridge, marking an escalation in a campaign of day-and-night strikes that has battered the capital for more than a month. The attacks are making the city feel increasingly like a frontline zone.
Russian jet-powered drones struck Kyiv’s Northern Bridge on Oct. 4, as Russian forces increasingly target bridges in Ukraine’s capital, according to information available Monday, Oct. 5.
The focus on bridges marks an escalation after more than a month of Russian strikes throughout the day and night. The sustained attacks have left Kyiv feeling increasingly like a frontline city, despite its position far from many of the war’s ground battles.
The strike on the Northern Bridge was documented in a photograph showing police officers examining damage at the crossing. No information was provided about casualties, the extent of the damage or disruptions to traffic. The attacks’ broader effects on Kyiv’s bridges and residents were not detailed.
