news.telegraf.com.ua (Ukrainian) —

Russia struck Kyiv's Pivdennyi (Southern) Bridge early Friday, October 2, marking the third attack on the crossing since October 1, according to Mayor Vitali Klitschko, with emergency services on site. The bridge is a key Dnipro River crossing, handling about 90% of transit traffic between Kyiv's left and right banks, and connects major highways (M-05, M-06, M-03), also serving significant military logistics. Military expert Oleh Starikov says Russia cannot destroy the bridge with drones but aims to disrupt its structure, likely targeting the cables holding it, potentially using cumulative charges to sever them.
