Russian armed forces attacked the Southern Bridge in Kyiv overnight on October 2, according to the mayor of the Ukrainian capital.

The shelling damaged a building as well as several vehicles located near the bridge. The incident once again drew attention to this strategically important crossing, which has previously been targeted by Russian strikes.

Traffic briefly suspended

For safety reasons, vehicle traffic across the bridge was temporarily suspended. After the situation was assessed, movement resumed, though the source report does not specify how long the suspension lasted.

The news was made public by Kyiv's mayor, who confirmed both the building and vehicle damage. The report does not mention any casualties from the incident.
