Russian forces damage Kyiv’s North Bridge in overnight strike, Kyiv mayor says

Situation Overview

On 7 November 2026, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said Russian forces again attacked the North Bridge over the Dnipro River, damaging the bridge and prompting an assessment of the extent of the damage. He said traffic on the bridge was closed in both directions. Klitschko said the attack left five people injured, including a 14-year-old child, and that two injured people were hospitalized. Kyiv authorities had earlier reported a large overnight attack on the city using ballistic missiles. No additional economic or market effects were reported in the available account. The next concrete item to watch is the authorities’ assessment of the North Bridge damage and any subsequent reopening or repair decisions.
