Russian strike damages Dnieper River bridge in Kyiv

Russian forces conducted a series of ballistic missile and drone strikes on Kyiv, targeting critical infrastructure including the Pivdennyi Bridge, metro facilities, and power plants, resulting in civilian casualties. Concurrently, Ukraine executed deep strikes against Russian defense industrial facilities, notably battery plants in Yelets and Lipetsk crucial for missile and glide bomb production, and a titanium producer in Perm Krai. The sustained targeting of both Ukrainian urban infrastructure and Russian military-industrial complex indicates an escalating pattern of reciprocal deep strikes.

Russian forces conducted a strike on a key bridge over the Dnipro River in Kyiv, resulting in the suspension of rail traffic. The extent of damage and impact on military logistics remains unconfirmed. Separately, Romania has exposed an alleged Russian spy network, indicating broader Russian intelligence activities.
