Russia's defence ministry said its forces struck the Northern Bridge and the Meridian plant in Kyiv overnight. The ministry also reported damage to energy and industrial facilities in the Kyiv region and a strike on a cargo vessel in the Black Sea.

Russia said its forces carried out a massive overnight strike on what it described as targets in Ukraine's military-industrial sector and energy and transport infrastructure in Kyiv and the surrounding region.

In the capital, Russia's defence ministry said the strikes hit the Northern Bridge. The ministry said the bridge was being used to transport weapons, military equipment and vehicles for the Ukrainian armed forces. It also named the Meridian plant, which Russia says produces Flamingo cruise missiles.

The ministry added that the strikes damaged several energy and industrial facilities in the Kyiv region, including a power plant, an electricity substation and a munitions manufacturing facility.

Beyond Kyiv, Russian forces struck an electricity substation in the Zhytomyr region, the ministry said. It also reported a strike on a cargo vessel in the Black Sea that it said was transporting military equipment and dual-use goods to Ukraine.
