Russia Strikes Kyiv's Northern Bridge for Third Straight Day of Infrastructure Attacks

A Russian strike hit Kyiv's Northern Bridge over the Dnipro on October 3, 2026, damaging the road surface and trolleybus power lines and halting traffic; two people were injured. It followed strikes on the Southern Bridge the previous day, leaving three of Kyiv's six Dnipro road bridges fully or partly closed. Russian forces also reportedly hit the Gostomel logistics centre in Kyiv region, a dry cargo ship in Odesa region, and a data-processing centre in Dnipropetrovsk, using 157 strike drones across numerous regions. Russian attacks killed at least six people across Ukraine that day.
