A large bridge and a school in Kyiv were struck by bombs, Göteborgs-Posten reported on Thursday. The attacks were part of a wider wave of Russian strikes on Ukraine that left several people dead, according to Aftonbladet.
The two Swedish outlets gave no further details on the number of victims, the timing of the strikes, or the extent of the damage. The reports did not specify what type of weapons were used or how the targets were hit.
The strikes come as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said his country is preparing the fourth phase of an operation it calls "Vivaldi," according to Swedish broadcaster SVT. SVT did not describe what that phase involves or when it would begin.
Separately, Dagens Nyheter reported that Ukrainian trains are being pursued by drones, with passengers and crew forced to evacuate repeatedly during a single journey. The report did not say where those incidents occurred or whether anyone was hurt.
The accounts from the Swedish outlets could not be independently verified, and no full reports on the Kyiv strikes were available at the time of writing.
What to watch next: whether Ukrainian or Russian officials confirm casualty figures and damage from the Kyiv strikes, and what the fourth phase of the "Vivaldi" operation entails.
