What happened
On October 7th, Russian airstrikes targeted Dnipro, damaging an industrial facility in the southeastern city. Later, attacks expanded to Kyiv, where bridges across the Dnipro river were hit and buildings and warehouses were damaged. Additionally, transport infrastructure in Zaporizhzhya was attacked, forcing authorities to temporarily shut down traffic across the city's cable-stayed bridge.
Why it matters
The repeated strikes on major Ukrainian cities like Kyiv and Dnipro cause physical damage to critical infrastructure, including energy grids and transport links. The disruption of key transport routes, such as bridges, affects the movement of goods and commerce across the affected regions.
