Russia attacks Kyiv bridges for second day, choking city traffic
No single age determines readiness. Experts say it depends on individual maturity, judgment, and awareness of hazards.
Russian drones struck Kyiv's Southern Bridge on Friday. The strike was the second attack on a major crossing in as many days.
Three bridges over the Dnipro River have been closed or partly blocked since Thursday. More than one-third of the capital's three million people live on the east bank.
But most work on the west bank. Long traffic jams have blocked the city.
Residents struggle to cross the river and get to work and needed services. In a separate Russian drone strike Friday, one person was killed and two were hurt.
The strike hit an apartment building. Mayor Vitali Klitschko called the situation very dramatic.
Russian President Vladimir Putin removed limits on Russia's air strikes last month. This appears linked to the rising attacks now.
Why it mattersCritical infrastructure has been damaged. Thousands are cut off from work and services. The Russian campaign is intensifying. This signals a major shift as winter approaches.
AustraliaNo direct Australian effect yet, but intensifying Russian bombardment of Ukrainian civilian infrastructure during early winter signals major escalation in the conflict.
