Two others hit a key bridge linking eastern and western Kyiv, disrupting metro and ground transport. A separate strike ignited a fire at a nuclear research facility, but officials said its test reactor was undamaged. Russia’s Belgorod region also reported one death in a drone explosion, while the UK announced new sanctions on Russia.
