Kyiv bridge struck by drone as Russia escalates attacks

A Russian drone has struck a major bridge in Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv.

​Footage captured an explosion on the North Bridge, which crosses the Dnipro River and had already been damaged in an earlier attack.

​The latest strike came as German Chancellor Friedrich Merz visited Kyiv to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

​Russia has stepped up attacks on infrastructure across the Ukrainian capital in recent weeks.
