Yes. On October 2, 2026, overnight Russian drone strikes forced the closure of key Dnipro River crossings in Kyiv, including the Southern Bridge and Paton Bridge in both directions and the Metro Bridge toward the city’s right bank, producing widespread traffic gridlock. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Iranian-type Shahed drones hit the Southern Bridge several times and called on allies to tighten sanctions so Russia cannot keep sourcing foreign components for its drones and missiles; Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko said three bridges were partially closed and one person was killed amid more than 100 drones launched across the country.
