Russia Strikes Kyiv's Bridges

The strikes form part of a broader Russian bombing campaign against infrastructure. The New York Times reports that the targeted structures are among those used daily by large numbers of commuters in the Ukrainian capital.

What remains unresolved is the extent of damage and whether any crossings have been rendered impassable. The New York Times report does not specify which bridges were struck, how many missiles or drones were used, or whether Ukrainian air defences intercepted any part of the attack.

About the writer

Sophia Borg News & Politics Editor

Sophia Borg grew up in one of Malta's oldest families and spent her twenties proving she didn't need any of it — volunteering in Lagos, interning in Brussels, loving the wrong man in the south of France. She came back to Malta with a pen and a score to settle. Not with people. With the gap between what this island could be and what it keeps choosing instead. Politics is her beat because decisions made behind closed doors eventually arrive in ordinary lives. She follows that journey all the way to the doorstep.
