Russia struck a major bridge that links Kyiv’s eastern and western banks, marking the second such attack within a week. The bridge’s disruption forced commuters onto alternate routes, highlighting the city’s vulnerability to repeated strikes.
A fire ignited in the Obolon district during the attack, but Ukrinform confirmed it was extinguished shortly after. Ukrinform’s brief on the Obolon fire offers no casualty figure beyond the two deaths reported elsewhere.
Authorities have not disclosed the extent of repairs needed nor any additional security steps beyond the nets, leaving those aspects open.
