Fact check
Russia’s Defense Ministry confirmed the Northern Bridge strike and cast it as logistics warfare. Klitschko’s account stays concrete: road surface and trolleybus cables damaged, traffic suspended, then two people wounded.
Calling this a “new tactic” only holds if the target set is the city’s daily movement, not only its warehouses and apartments. The confirmation matters because it closes the usual ambiguity about who hit the span.
“Kyiv Mayor Vitalii Klitschko said the strike on the bridge damaged the road surface and trolleybus cables, forcing traffic to be suspended. He later said two people were wounded in the attack, one of whom was briefly hospitalized.”
