Russia Strikes Kyiv's Northern Bridge Amid Escalating Attacks

Russian forces have intensified their assault on Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, with a second major bridge, the Northern Bridge, being struck in recent days. This follows repeated attacks on other key infrastructure, highlighting a deliberate strategy to disrupt the city.

Kyiv Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko has described the situation as "dramatic," urging residents to acknowledge the severity of the ongoing conflict and the impossibility of maintaining a sense of peacetime. The intensified strikes, which have targeted critical infrastructure including schools and hospitals, come as Ukraine reports the combat use of its new domestically produced FP-7 ballistic missile. While currently limited in range, a more powerful version is under development, potentially capable of reaching targets within Russia.
