Lina Romanchenko, a correspondent for the Visyt media center, reported on Espreso TV that “During the night, drones were shot down and explosions were heard. Local residents said their houses were shaking, and we saw broken windows in the city center. The city’s palace of culture was badly damaged, with more than 20 windows broken,” Romanchenko said. 

She added that the Kremenchuk bridge suffered the most damage.

“At around 1:30 a.m., the bridge was hit, causing a fire,” she said. “Other parts of the city’s infrastructure were also damaged, forcing the bridge to close. Some trains, including the Kremenchuk-Znamianka route, were canceled. Travel to the right bank is currently disrupted while restoration work is underway. The bridge remains closed.”

  • On the evening of September 6, Russian forces launched a massive wave of drones and ballistic missiles at Ukrainian territory. Overnight, Kyiv came under attack, leaving casualties and injuries, with debris striking the Cabinet of Ministers building. Kryvyi Rih was also hit by ballistic missiles, resulting in deaths. Drone strikes damaged infrastructure in Dnipropetrovsk  and Poltava regions.
