The Bridge

Russia hit a bridge in Kyiv on the day of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz's visit to the Ukrainian capital. In remarks reported by the BBC, officials suggested the strike was a deliberate message, asking whether those behind it believed there would be no response. President Volodymyr Zelensky vowed Ukraine would strike back. The attack came as attention is fixed on Russia's war economy and its willingness to escalate despite Western diplomatic engagement.

Russian forces have struck Kyiv's Northern Bridge, adding to a series of attacks on the Ukrainian capital's infrastructure. Reports indicate damage to a key transport crossing, with details on casualties and the extent of destruction still emerging. Observers are voicing concern over the ongoing targeting of civilian infrastructure in Kyiv and its impact on residents.

Russia struck a bridge in Kyiv as German Chancellor Friedrich Merz arrived in Ukraine in a show of support. The attack hit the Ukrainian capital while the German leader was in the country, underlining the continued danger to Kyiv and Germany's backing for Ukraine nearly four years into the war.

Russian attacks across Ukraine have killed six people and damaged the Northern Bridge in Kyiv, according to reports carried by ABC News, AP News and multiple US regional outlets. The strike on infrastructure in the capital adds to a pattern of Russian aerial assaults targeting Ukrainian cities and transport links, with casualties reported in the latest wave of attacks.

Russian forces struck Kyiv's North Bridge, injuring two people, in another attack targeting crossings across the Dnipro River in the Ukrainian capital. It is at least the second time the bridge has been hit. The strike on key transport infrastructure has drawn attention to Russia's continued targeting of bridges and crossings used by civilians and for logistics in Kyiv.
