KYIV: Traffic was gridlocked in Kyiv on Friday after one of the city's main bridges was closed and restrictions were placed on others after another wave of Russian drone strikes.
AFP reporters saw long queues of stationary cars and buses on main roads in the Ukrainian capital as commuters sought alternative routes.
Traffic built up due to the complete closure to traffic in both directions on the Southern Bridge, one of eight connecting the east and west of Kyiv over the Dnipro River.
The Paton Bridge, further north, was open only one way, city mayor Vitali Klitschko said, but there were no reports that it had been hit.
