Vitali Klitschko reported that the road surface and the trolleybus overhead wires were damaged as a result of the strike on the Northern Bridge. Traffic across the bridge from the left bank to the right bank has been blocked.
In recent days, the Russians have been systematically targeting Kyiv’s bridges. The South Bridge was first struck on October 1, when it was attacked by two drones. That same evening, an attack damaged the support structure, the road surface, and the subway’s protective barrier.

On the night of October 2, the enemy struck the South Bridge again, and attacked it once more during the day.
