| [Yahoo News] "Just so you know... Nastya’s mother called," the local resident says in the message. "And she lives not far from the Antonivskyi Bridge. She says they f*cked it up in half! Get it? It’s f*cking gone. The bridge is no more. Basically, it just shattered into pieces there. There, in the middle of the bridge... Well, basically, there is no bridge... It’s no longer connected at all." The resident in the message also notes that fragments of the bridge had been blasted as far as the nearby village of Antonivka. In addition, there is still unconfirmed evidence that at the time of the strike, about 10 Russian KamAZ trucks with ammunition were moving along the bridge, the detonation of which could have caused the destruction of the bridge. There is no official confirmation of this information yet, however, a photo circulating on social media that captures the moment one of the missiles hit shows an explosion of such power that it could well have lead to the destruction described. |

| #5 An inconvenience Institute for the Study of War reports that the bridge hasnt necessarily collapsed, while still in service, it is, "unusable for heavy transport." Newsweek reports the Russians have a Pontoon Bridge into Kherson, and have ferry services across the Dnipro to keep their troops supplied. |

It's kicked the bucket, shuffled off its mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleeding choir invisible! THIS IS AN EX-BRIDGE!!! Mike |
