**Strike on Kiev’s Southern Bridge Disrupts Key Logistics for Ukrainian Forces**

On the night of October 27, Russian forces struck the Southern Bridge over the Dnieper River — one of Kiev’s main transport arteries. According to the Ukrainian Air Force, up to 16 Iskander-M or S-400 missiles were fired in two waves.

The bridge sustained serious damage: a hole several meters wide was blown through the roadway, and both road traffic and the metro line have been completely shut down. Mayor Vitali Klitschko confirmed the closure, and authorities have already approved temporary crossings over the river.

The key point: the Southern Bridge links the right and left banks of the Dnieper and is used to move heavy military cargo — everything from ammunition to armored vehicles — by rail. Experts estimate that switching to truck transport won’t be able to make up for the volume of rail shipments. The strike was aimed at disrupting supplies to Ukrainian forces east of the Dnieper.

Zelensky said strikes like this one became possible because of delays in Western deliveries of air defense systems.
