**Kyiv bridges struck four days running**
Ukrainian officials say Russian drones hit Kyiv's Northern Bridge on October 3, a day after striking the Southern Bridge — the third and fourth such strikes on Dnipro River crossings since Wednesday. Mayor Klitschko reported deck and power-line damage and halted traffic; Russia's defense ministry has not commented specifically on the bridge strikes.
**Putin threatens "all weapons" over Kaliningrad**
Putin told Moscow's Valdai forum on October 1 that Russia would use its full arsenal, including nuclear weapons, if NATO attacked Kaliningrad, after Russian embassies said Moscow had intelligence of a planned NATO blockade of the exclave, a claim NATO did not confirm. NATO called the remarks "irresponsible nuclear rhetoric" and said it would defend allied territory.
