Russian Pinpoint Drone Strikes Paralyze Kyiv's Dnipro Bridges (Videos) Russian drones struck Kyiv’s Southern Bridge repeatedly over the last 24 hours, damaging parts of the structure and ultimately forcing the complete closure of the key Dnipro crossing as Ukrainian authorities diverted traffic to other bridges. The first two impacts came around midday on October 1 near a support structure while vehicles and a metro train were crossing. An initial inspection found no critical structural damage, and ground public transport resumed several hours later. Later in the evening, another drone struck the bridge, this time hitting the roadway. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said the impact damaged a support, a crash barrier, the road surface and the protective concrete barrier around the metro tracks. Metro traffic was suspended and the tracks were de-energized while emergency crews assessed the damage. A further strike hit the bridge early on October 2, according to Kyiv’s city administration.
