Russia Strikes Two Bridges in Kyiv in October 2026

In October 2026, Russia carried out drone strikes on two major bridges in Kyiv, Ukraine's capital. The strikes hit the Northern Bridge over the Dnipro River and another key crossing in the city, part of a series of attacks on the Ukrainian capital.

Russia said it would continue large-scale strikes on Kyiv and warned foreign diplomats to leave the city, citing what it called "mortal danger." A Ukrainian adviser said Russia may be using mesh relays in Kyiv to steer drones.
