#1 [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."

...Bereft of life, it rests in peace! It's off the twig! 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!!!

#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.
