It was Russian sources that said the Ukrainians had fired missiles at it, and moreover that the Russians had closed the bridge. It was therefore, at least, a successful harassment of bridge traffic. We will wait to see if there was significant damage.

The available videos of the attack are also all from Russian sources.

Since the Ukrainians demonstrated an ability to reach the bridge with their missiles, it means that they now have the means to hit precision targets at least that far away, which covers all of Crimea. If they are using old S200s to do that it also means that they probably have significant numbers of these things.

Novorossyisk may also be in range, TBD. There is a lot of merchant shipping there. Also, very likely, airbases in the Krasnodar area, where much of the Russian Airforce stages from into the south front.

Yippee. The Palestinians have been ‘harassing’ the Jews for 75 years and what has that got them? Like Ukraine, the Palestinians would have done better by NOT being terrorists.
