In early October, Russian forces for the first time targeted Kyiv's bridges across the Dnipro River, striking the South Bridge over two days and then the Northern Bridge on October 3, damaging road surfaces and trolleybus power lines. Mayor Vitali Klitschko confirmed partial closures to traffic. Russia's military said it also hit a Kyiv bridge route used to transport troops and cargo, along with two vessels in the Black Sea. The strikes mark an escalation targeting critical transport infrastructure in the capital, previously untouched by direct attacks, raising concerns about logistics and civilian mobility in Kyiv.
