Antonovsky Bridge near Kherson city has collapsed: Report

The Antonovsky Bridge, the only nearby road crossing from the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson to the Russian-controlled eastern bank of the Dnieper River, has collapsed, Ukraine’s public broadcaster has quoted local residents as saying.

The Suspilne broadcaster published a photograph showing whole sections of the bridge missing. Al Jazeera could not independently verify the broadcaster’s report.

The next road crossing across the Dnieper is more than 70km (43 miles) from Kherson city.
