Kyivans joke about crossing Dnieper after Russian drone strikes on Southern Bridge

On Friday, October 2, Russia continued attacking Kyiv with drones, striking the Southern Bridge for the fourth time in a day, prompting an emergency meeting of Kyiv's Defense Council led by Mayor Vitaliy Klichko. The bridge's metro service may resume only after expert assessments, while authorities proposed transport options to maintain connectivity between the city's banks. Kyiv residents joked on Threads about using catamarans, boats, or inflatable bananas to cross the Dnieper. The strikes began October 1 with three drone hits, forcing full closure of the Southern Bridge and restrictions on other crossings, causing major traffic jams and stranded passengers Friday morning.
