Russia pounds power facilities around Kyiv, damages major bridge
The strike damaged the roadbed and power line, and Ukrainian officials said six ballistic missiles were fired at the crossing.
- On Saturday, November 7, Russian forces launched 36 ballistic missiles and 172 long-range drones at Kyiv, damaging the Northern Bridge across the Dnipro River and multiple power substations, officials said.
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported Russia used North Korean-made KN-23 ballistic missiles in the attack; these projectiles utilize low, flattened flight paths, making them notoriously difficult for existing air defense systems to intercept.
- Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko described an "extremely difficult" situation for power, heating, and water supplies following the strikes, which damaged critical substations connecting Rivne and Khmelnytskyi nuclear plants to the capital.
- The attack left at least six people injured and forced the closure of the Northern Bridge in both directions, according to authorities, while emergency repair crews continue working to restore grid stability where security permits.
- These strikes precede U.S.-brokered trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi, where delegations from Moscow and Kyiv are scheduled to discuss potential security guarantees, as analysts suggest the timing exerts maximum pressure on Ukraine's infrastructure capacity.
