Kyiv's Northern Bridge Targeted
Russian attacks across Ukraine caused damage to the Northern Bridge in the capital Kyiv, leading to a complete suspension of traffic flow on the bridge.

Attacks that intensified in other parts of the country led to heavy casualties.
Five people lost their lives and more than forty people were injured in Russian drone and guided bomb attacks in the city of Kharkiv.
