> Traffic on all bridges across the Dnieper in Kyiv is reportedly being stopped during air-raid alerts, with footage showing long queues. Restrictions are said to be in effect on the Darnytsia and Northern bridges, though city authorities have not officially announced them. Earlier closures of three major bridges caused severe congestion, several-fold taxi fare increases and reports that some residents were leaving the city.
