Russian drone strikes Zaporizhzhia bridge in overnight attack

A Russian drone struck a bridge over the Dnipro River in Zaporizhzhia during an overnight attack on October 6, causing damage to its road surface and leading to its closure. Traffic has been rerouted, according to the Zaporizhzhia City Council, which did not disclose the exact bridge targeted. The attack also resulted in injuries to five people in the region, including two members of the Red Cross, who are receiving medical attention. This incident is part of an intensifying campaign by Russia against Ukrainian infrastructure, following multiple attacks on bridges in Kyiv in the preceding week. President Vladimir Putin has reportedly issued a "new doctrine" allowing for broader strikes against Ukrainian civilian targets, including roads, schools, and hospitals, in an effort to force civilian displacement from cities during the upcoming winter, according to Ukrainian intelligence cited by President Volodymyr Zelensky.
