Summary

Russian forces conducted drone attacks on Kyiv during the night of October 1-2, 2026, striking the Pivdennyi Bridge multiple times and damaging a 25-story residential building in the Darnytskyi district. The bridge, which carries up to 90% of transit traffic between Kyiv's two banks, sustained damage to its support structure, guardrail, roadway, and protective concrete around the metro line, resulting in its closure to vehicle and metro traffic. A fire broke out on the upper floors of the residential building, spreading across approximately 120 square meters before being extinguished. Reports indicate one person was killed and two others injured in the residential building attack, with six additional people evacuated. Ukrainian air defenses shot down or suppressed 88 of 108 Russian drones launched. The attacks disrupted traffic across Kyiv, with restrictions imposed on multiple bridges. Russian officials claim to be targeting critical infrastructure and logistics used by Ukraine's military, though the Russian Defense Ministry has not confirmed the specific strikes.
