01.10.2026 ⇢ The Day Russia Struck Kyiv's South Bridge Three Times
⌨

Overnight Russia continued the campaign that blacked out Kyiv on 30 September with drones on the capital and Odesa. Editors reported fires in three Kyiv districts, a school hit while children were in shelter, and a business centre in Odesa, each with single injuries reported.

Attention then fixed on Kyiv's Pivdennyi Bridge. Two drones struck near its supports in the morning while a metro train was crossing, halting metro and road traffic for inspection. Bus service was later restored with metro still suspended when a third drone hit in the evening, damaging a support.

Away from the strikes, a court sentenced 20-year-old Vyacheslav Zinchenko to life for the murder of Iryna Farion. The Air Force reported a MiG-29 shot down and its Ghost of Kyiv pilot Marat Mambetov killed, as Zelensky announced the first combat use of Ukraine's FP-7 ballistic missile.
