On a bridge in Kyiv, nets are being installed to protect against drones

Installation of anti-drone protective nets has begun on one of Kyiv's main bridges across the Dnipro River for the first time since the start of the invasion in 2022. Two of the capital's eight bridges were recently attacked by new-generation Russian jet drones. The nets are already in use in eastern and southern regions.

In Kyiv, installation of anti-drone protective nets has begun on one of the main bridges across the Dnipro River. This is the first such measure since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. According to AFP, in recent weeks two of the Ukrainian capital's eight bridges have been attacked by new-generation Russian jet drones. The protective nets, already widely used in eastern and southern areas near the front line, are intended to secure the city's vital transport arteries.
