Kyiv Southern Bridge Hit by Russian Drone for Third Time in One Day

A Russian drone struck the Southern Bridge in Kyiv for the third time on October 1, causing significant damage to the road surface and metro infrastructure beneath the bridge. Authorities suspended metro and ground transport services in the affected area following the strike.

Repeated Targeting of Critical Infrastructure

The Southern Bridge is a vital crossing over the Dnipro River and carries both road traffic and the Kyiv Metro. Three strikes against a single target in one day mark a significant escalation in the precision targeting of the Ukrainian capital's transport network.

Emergency services responded to the scene and began assessing the extent of the damage. Commuters were urged to seek alternative routes as the bridge-linked metro stations remained closed pending inspection.
