Russia attacks Kyiv’s Pivnichnyi Bridge for the second time in two days — Interia

Russia, the aggressor state, attacked Kyiv’s Pivnichnyi Bridge for the second time in two days. In the morning, a drone struck the bridge’s road surface, injuring two people. One of those injured was hospitalized, while the other received assistance at the scene, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said.

As Interia reports, traffic across the bridge was temporarily suspended after the strike. It was restored several hours later, and city buses also returned to their routes. The Kyiv City State Administration warned that delays in public transport services were possible.

Heating main damaged

A heating main in Kyiv Oblast was also damaged as a result of the Russian strike. Some residents of the Desnianskyi district will temporarily be without hot water supply.

Two people were also injured in Saturday’s attack on the Pivnichnyi Bridge, the outlet notes, citing the Ukrinform agency. Russia had previously carried out airstrikes on the Pivdennyi Bridge at least five times. According to Interia, the intensification of attacks on Ukraine’s road infrastructure began last Thursday.

Zelenskyy’s reaction

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on X on Sunday after a conference with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in Kyiv that Russia was escalating its attacks. He said he was surprised by Russia’s approach to strikes on Ukraine.

According to Zelenskyy, Russia is attacking bridges, data processing centers and mobile communications, affecting people’s lives. In an interview with the Financial Times published on Friday, the president said that, according to intelligence data, Russian leader Vladimir Putin allegedly stated in September that there were no rules for attacks against Ukraine.
