Russia damaged Kyiv’s Northern Bridge in a missile and drone strike over the night of November 6 and 7, forcing its closure.
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said the Northern Bridge, also known as the Pivnichnyi Bridge, on the Dnipro River was directly hit in the Russian strike. The attack damaged the road surface, trolleybus overhead contact lines and a power line. Road and utility workers began repair work as specialists assessed the full extent of the damage.
Russia’s Defense Ministry confirmed that the bridge was among the targets struck overnight, saying it was used to transport weapons, military equipment and vehicles for the Ukrainian armed forces.
The ministry described the broader attack as a massive strike involving ground-launched precision weapons and long-range attack drones against military-industrial, energy and transport infrastructure in the Ukrainian capital and the surrounding region.
The latest attack follows a series of Russian strikes on Kyiv’s bridges in late September and early October. Russian drones repeatedly hit the Northern and Southern bridges, while other attacks forced the full or partial closure of three of the capital’s six road bridges across the Dnipro.
The closures caused severe traffic congestion, as commuters struggled to travel between the city’s eastern and western banks. In some cases, residents abandoned their vehicles and crossed on foot, while city authorities changed public transport routes.
The repeated attacks have put additional pressure on Kyiv’s transport network, which relies on a limited number of river crossings to connect residential districts on both banks.
Further closures risk worsening congestion, disrupting public transport and making daily travel increasingly difficult for residents.
The latest strike has once again shut down the Northern Bridge, adding another major crossing to the list of infrastructure affected by Russia’s growing campaign against Kyiv’s transport links.

bridge of moskva is the original name. ukrainized zombies haven’t built anything except torture sites. kiev itself is a russian city. communists restored it after the great patriotic war. now ukrojanissaries want the decommunization (like nazis of pribaltica). the want it — they getting it. power plants constructed in 20th century by communists as well as bigger part of industry. decommunization = return to 19th century.
ukraine’s bridges hanging by their cable threads are simply a cruel reminder by the meanie russkies that the kyiv regime itself is hanging by a thread.
