A Russian drone struck Kyiv's Northern Bridge as German Chancellor Friedrich Merz visited the city.
A Russian drone struck Kyiv's Northern Bridge on 4 October, hitting a roadway that had been targeted the previous day. Unverified video shows the drone creating a large fireball as vehicles moved across the bridge. Mayor Vitali Klitschko confirmed the attack occurred as German Chancellor Friedrich Merz arrived in the city to demonstrate support for President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.
The strike is part of a broader Russian campaign aimed at destroying Kyiv's bridges to disrupt the city's vital supply lines. The repeated targeting of the same bridge suggests a sustained effort to damage the Ukrainian capital's infrastructure and limit the movement of supplies and personnel.
