A fresh wave of Russian attacks has once again struck a critical infrastructure link in the Ukrainian capital, marking the second straight day that strikes have targeted Kyiv’s Northern Bridge. Dan Johnson, the BBC’s senior Ukraine correspondent, is currently positioned in the immediate vicinity of the damaged crossing, providing on-the-ground reporting of the aftermath of the latest attack.
The repeated targeting of the river crossing underscores the ongoing pressure Russian military operations are placing on key transportation networks in and around Kyiv, as the conflict in Ukraine enters another phase of intensified strikes on urban infrastructure. Local authorities have not yet released full details on casualties or the extent of structural damage to the bridge, which serves as a vital connection for residents and supply movements in the northern part of the capital region.
Johnson’s presence near the site comes as international media continues to document the impact of daily strikes on Ukrainian cities, bringing first-hand perspective on how the attacks are disrupting civilian life and transport links across Kyiv.
