In the night of November 7, 2026, the Russian military attacked Kyiv three times with ballistic missiles. Energy facilities, residential buildings, and the capital's infrastructure, including the North Bridge, came under fire. According to municipal services, the attack damaged the road surface, trolleybus overhead lines, and power transmission lines, while the blast wave destroyed five trucks parked near the bridge. Traffic across the North Bridge is closed in both directions as specialists assess the extent of the damage. ### Chronology of the Three Waves of Strikes The first ballistic missile strike on Kyiv was recorded around 23:00 on November 6, with explosions echoing across the capital. The second wave occurred at approximately 01:00 on November 7: according to municipal services, infrastructure facilities were hit, and explosions were heard in the capital's suburbs. The third round of the attack was recorded around 03:00 on November 7, when explosions rang out in Kyiv once again. Thus, within a few hours, the city experienced three consecutive waves of ballistic strikes. ### Strike on the North Bridge and Casualties The most visible consequence of the night attack was the strike on the North Bridge. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko published photos of the aftermath: the road surface, trolleybus overhead line, and power transmission line were damaged, and five trucks parked near the bridge were deformed by the blast wave. According to municipal services, five people were injured in the attack, including a 14-year-old child; two of the wounded were hospitalized. The consequences of the strikes were also recorded at several addresses in the Solomianskyi district of the capital. ### Power Grid Failures and Emergency Outages The night attack damaged energy facilities in the Kyiv and Zhytomyr regions, creating an extremely tense power supply situation in Kyiv. Power grid failures affected the operation of heating and water supply systems. By 07:05, emergency power outages were introduced in the capital, while standard outage schedules are not in effect. Specialists continue to assess the damage and restore utility supplies. ### Assessments and Statements from Parties Commenting on the night attack, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported the use of 21 ballistic missiles and mentioned fatalities and injuries resulting from the strikes. Meanwhile, municipal services indicate five injured in their reports. The discrepancy in casualty figures is due to data being updated as emergency services work on site. The only confirmed fact remains the occurrence of three waves of ballistic strikes on Kyiv and damage to infrastructure, including the North Bridge and energy facilities. ## Accounts differ ### Number of casualties resulting from the night attack - **Kyiv Municipal Services (according to RBC):** Five people were injured in the attack, including a 14-year-old child, and two were hospitalized.
