Update: Russia hits Kyiv’s Northern Bridge again as German Chancellor Merz visits
Update since Saturday’s briefs: Russia struck Kyiv’s Pivnichnyi (Northern) Bridge again Sunday morning—the second hit in two days and part of four straight days of bridge attacks—BBC reported, citing Mayor Vitali Klitschko and video it verified of a drone striking the roadway. Klitschko said the blast damaged a heating main, temporarily cutting hot water in the Desnyanskyi district; no casualties were reported from Sunday’s strike. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz made a surprise Kyiv visit the same morning, laying wreaths with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and pledging more air-defense help; Zelenskyy also said Russian drones killed one person in a Sumy warehouse strike and injured six in Dnipro.
