Russian attacks on Kiev bridges and infrastructure continue

The Russian army continues its attacks on road bridges in the Ukrainian capital Kiev. An attack on the northern bridge over the Dnipro River damaged the road surface and cables for trolleybuses, said Mayor Vitali Klitschko. Traffic was stopped. There were traffic jams for the third day in a row. No injuries or deaths were reported.

Videos circulating on social media are said to show the moment of impact as vehicles drive over the bridge - the images have not been verified. The Russian Defense Ministry said the bridge would facilitate "troop movements and the transportation of military goods" for the Ukrainian armed forces. The attack came a day after Russian attacks left three of Kiev's six road bridges over the Dnipro completely or partially impassable.

Attacks on homes and gas stations

The attacks also hit residential buildings, supermarket warehouses, gas stations and data centers. The Ukrainian Air Force said Russia also fired Banderol cruise missiles into the Odessa region during the night to overload its anti-aircraft defenses.

Moldovan President Mia Sandu said five Russian missiles, including Banderol cruise missiles and drones, entered Moldovan airspace and exploded on her country's territory.

Ukrainian drones damaged several residential buildings in the western Russian city of Kaluga and, according to Russian sources, injured several people. Numbers were not given.
