> Russian forces hit Kyiv’s Northern Bridge on October 3, damaging its road surface and overhead trolleybus power lines, prompting a partial traffic closure, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said. The strikes followed at least three drone attacks on the Southern Bridge on October 1 and 2, which damaged several structures and led to its full closure.
