Russian forces struck a second major bridge in Kyiv, BBC reported on Saturday. The attack targeted a crossing over the Dnieper River, according to the same reporting. No further details on casualties or the extent of the damage were available in the source material.
The strike follows earlier reporting on the same day. Anadolu Ajansı reported that Russia said it had hit a bridge over the Dnieper in Kyiv, and Investing.com Türkiye also reported that a Dnipro bridge in the city was struck in a Russian attack. Sözcü described the target as Ukraine's "digital lifeline," framing the strike as a notable Russian operation. Hürriyet reported that Russia repeated a warning telling people not to be in Ukraine.
Taken together, the reports indicate that multiple outlets covered a Russian strike on a Dnieper River crossing in the Ukrainian capital on Saturday, with BBC reporting that a second major bridge was hit. The available material does not specify which bridges were involved, what weapons were used, or what damage resulted.
Bridges over the Dnieper are central to movement across Kyiv, connecting the city's eastern and western banks. The reported targeting of a second crossing suggests continued Russian pressure on the capital's infrastructure, though the source material does not provide details on the scale or intent of the operation.
What to watch next: official statements from Russian and Ukrainian authorities on the damage and any further strikes on Kyiv's river crossings.
