Kyiv Southern Bridge Drone Strike: 2 Drones Hit Key Metro Link After School Attack
A Kyiv Southern Bridge drone strike on Thursday became the first drone attack on one of the capital's bridges since the full-scale invasion began, according to Meduza and the Kyiv Independent. It followed a drone hit on a school in the city's Solomianskyi district earlier the same day. Officials said children were sheltering when the school was struck, and no injuries were reported in either attack.
The bridge matters because of what it carries. It crosses the Dnipro River, which divides Kyiv into eastern and western banks, and it carries both road traffic and Kyiv Metro trains. Reuters described it as a major link between the two halves of the city, which is why the transport halts that followed matter beyond the physical damage.
