Russian strikes on Kyiv's bridges

Russia has struck a second major bridge spanning the Dnipro river in Kyiv, according to the city's mayor. The attack follows an earlier strike on another bridge across the river, marking an escalation in Russian targeting of Kyiv's infrastructure crossing the Dnipro. The second bridge hit has been identified as the Southern Bridge, as Moscow continues to pound the capital. The strikes are causing growing travel chaos across Kyiv, with reports indicating the disruption is deepening further. A further Russian drone attack has hit a Kyiv bridge, coinciding with a surprise visit to the capital by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. Details on casualties and the extent of structural damage are still emerging.
