The strike on the South Bridge resulted in at least three direct impacts, forcing the suspension of vehicle traffic and the disruption of the green line metro service.

He stated that artificial delays in receiving the weapons are directly enabling the Russian campaign to hit urban infrastructure and energy grids.
