In Kyiv, the North Bridge has been covered with protective netting

Amid massive Russian attacks on Ukraine, Kyiv is stepping up defenses of key urban infrastructure sites. In particular, the North Bridge across the Dnipro River has been covered with protective netting. Photos of this have begun circulating on local social media pages.

On the morning of October 3, Russian troops struck the Northern Bridge in Kyiv. Prior to this, a series of explosions rocked the capital amid an air raid alert and the threat of attacks by strike drones.

Russia, the aggressor state, attacked the Northern Bridge in Kyiv for the second time in two days. On the morning of October 4, a drone struck the bridge’s roadway, injuring two people. One of the victims was hospitalized; the other received medical attention at the scene.

Prior to this, the Russian Federation—the aggressor state—had attacked a bridge in Kyiv, Ukraine, for the second day in a row. The evening drone strike on the closed South Bridge marked yet another attack on the capital’s infrastructure.
