A bridge in Kyiv was damaged during a fresh wave of attacks, disrupting traffic as emergency services assessed the structure, according to the Associated Press. Ukrainian authorities also reported six deaths in strikes elsewhere in the country.
The condition of the bridge and the extent of service disruption may change as inspections continue. Residents were advised through local channels to follow transport updates and avoid affected routes where instructed.
Casualty figures in an active conflict are subject to verification and may be revised. The AP report attributes the figures to Ukrainian officials; independent confirmation is often limited during continuing attacks.
