- Russia struck major Kyiv bridges over four consecutive days as Moscow ramps up attacks on Ukraine's capital city
- Pivnichnyi (Northern) Bridge was hit for the second day in a row
- Pivdennyi (Southern) Bridge was struck multiple times earlier in the week
- German Chancellor Friedrich Merz made a visit to Kyiv on Sunday, the same day as the latest bridge strike
- BBC Ukraine correspondent Dan Johnson is reporting from near one of the targeted bridges
Why it matters: Russia's repeated targeting of Kyiv bridges across four consecutive days — rather than isolated strikes — signals a deliberate, sustained infrastructure campaign against the capital. The collision of Friedrich Merz's diplomatic visit with the latest bridge strike places Germany's engagement directly alongside an escalating Russian operation in Kyiv.
