A military target, being critical for military logistics, it is entirely fair game, and this has been part of the customs of war for thousands of years.
And, of course, turnabout is fair play.
Correct.
Valid target, but the other side always gets a turn.

Yep. During the Civil War, both sides burned bridges. And during WW II everybody bombed bridges, and factories, and rail yards, and etc. All of those targets had civilians present. Billy Sherman was correct. War is hell.
This was meant to be a prolonged encounter. If the ukraine and its allies were serious about preventing death and destruction this would have been targeted months ago.
There was also an explosion on a train in Ilovaisk, in the Donetsk region.
If you break into my house and assail me, every action I take in defense of myself is right, while every action you take to counter my doing so is wrong.
However that would be an attack against Russia. Zelensky once again trying to get a full throttled war between NATO/US and Russia.
For months now analysts have been speculating that Ukraine has been leaving this bridge intact to offer Russia a retreat route. Putin’s recent mobilization has taken retreat off the table, so the bridge is becoming more of a liability than an asset.
