Beauty in destruction:The bridge that wasn't too far seems to have been cut off.

The immediate suspect is a truck bomb coming on the bridge from the Russian side. The driver may possibly be unwitting victim, not a suicide. Those two lanes are down, three spans in two separate places (the bridge sits on bearings; the second breath made by movement out of bonds). The opposite, east going side still stands, kinda, and nominally the traffic had been resumed... on one line switch direction basis for escorted bathes of 10-20 light vehicles at a time. For propaganda purposes primarily.
The fire of oil cars on the railway had been extinguished, but the burned cars are reportedly still there (possibly welded shut to the tracks), but the railway is two track and second line is free a test train have crossed, so traffic is to partially restored immediately there too. That means the primary kinetic effects are partial at best. The railway is what counts; the road comparably irrelevant.
I expect a repeat in a week or two. Especially if it wasn't a truck bomb after all. It could be the same heavy rocket that attacked that airfield. Nothing in UA arsenal has that sort of punch, but that (Grom2) could have been purpose modified.
Meanwhile, the infowars effects are far more profound. Especially in light of the hints it could be an inside job as part of FSB/PMC/Kadirovites rivalries with DoD going hotter by minute.
