topics ⚔️ War tags PoliticsWarWorldUkraine keywords

Metro service across the Dnipro River remains suspended after drone impacts damaged the concrete protective shell of the subway tracks on Thursday. Three separate Russian attacks on the Pivdennyi Bridge targeted support beams and the roadway's surface, though municipal specialists later found no critical structural damage. While one blast smashed windows in a metro carriage as it crossed the span, officials reported no injuries and have since resumed surface road traffic.

The assault is the first time Russian forces have hit a major bridge in Kyiv since the start of the conflict, disrupting a key link between the capital's left and right banks. Reports indicate the use of Geran-5 jet-drones equipped with new cumulative warheads specifically designed to penetrate bridge supports. City inspectors are continuing to assess the facility's overall stability before restoring subway services.
