Russian forces strike bridge over Dnipro in Zaporizhzhia, two injured
Russia's occupation army struck a bridge over the Dnipro River in the city of Zaporizhzhia, halting traffic across it, with two people reported injured.
Russian occupation forces struck a bridge crossing the Dnipro River in the city of Zaporizhzhia, according to Ukrainska Pravda. The attack forced authorities to shut down traffic across the bridge entirely. Two people were reported injured as a result of the strike.
Zaporizhzhia and the surrounding region remain frequent targets of Russian military attacks due to their proximity to the front line and their strategic importance in southeastern Ukraine. Bridges spanning the Dnipro in this area are considered critical transport and logistics infrastructure, meaning damage to them can disrupt the movement of both civilians and essential supplies.
It has not yet been specified how long traffic across the bridge will remain suspended, nor has detailed information been released about the condition of the two injured individuals. Ukrainian authorities are continuing to assess the full extent of the damage caused by the strike.
The incident fits into a broader pattern seen throughout the war, in which Russian forces have repeatedly targeted Ukrainian infrastructure, including bridges, energy facilities, and transport networks, particularly in regions close to the front line. Further details are expected to emerge as Ukrainian officials complete their assessment of the strike's consequences and the status of the injured.
