I have received the following factual report from a respected
professional in the Voivodina (or Vojvodina) Museums of Novi Sad
together with 3 photos of the damage to the entrance area of the
museum - apparently "collateral" as the military term it -blast damage
from the cruise missile(s) that destroyed the Danube Bridge nearby at
5am on Friday 1 April.
