Russian Drones Hit Kyiv Bridge During Merz Visit
Original: 🔴 BREAKING Russia Strikes Kyiv Bridge During German Chancellor's Visit Russian drones struck Kyiv's Northern Bridge, inj
Russian drones struck Kyiv's Northern Bridge, injuring two people, shortly after German Chancellor Friedrich Merz arrived in the Ukrainian capital for an unannounced visit. It was the fourth consecutive day of attacks on the city's bridges. The strike, timed during a senior European leader's stay, is being read as a pointed show of force by Moscow and has drawn attention to the risks facing Western officials visiting wartime Kyiv.
Why now: The attack happened as German Chancellor Friedrich Merz was visiting Kyiv, making it a politically charged escalation.
