#Defense Council

Kyiv is urgently convening a Defense Council due to bridge traffic issues following damage to the South Bridge. Traffic restrictions have been introduced, and a new transport scheme is being developed.

On the night of September 12, a Russian drone struck a private residential area in Zaporizhzhia, destroying a house and triggering fires. According to the Regional Council of Defense, two people were killed and one more was injured.

The Kiev Defense Council has approved new rules for cargo vehicles: transit during curfew without restrictions, entry of vehicles over 4.5 tons during rush hour — with restrictions. Exception — food and water. In effect from September 3.

Ukrainian intelligence warns of possible new Russian strikes on shopping centers in frontline cities, including Kryvyi Rih. The head of the city's Defense Council urged citizens to avoid large malls and go to shelters during alerts; the number of victims of the recent attack varies across sources.
