Why are they less trustworthy than you?
Reports I have seen say the roadway is open after clearing the debris from the explosion, which was under the main supports for the railway bridge on the south east side of the span over the shipping channel.
I have seen some reports say it was a drone torpedo, others say divers buried charges next to he pilings in the seabed.
One report stated the explosives weighed 2,500 lbs, hard to believe that divers or a drone could deliver that size payload without being noticed.
One thing I don't think anyone realized is that Ukraine had tapped into the bridges security system to monitor and reccord the explosion, they released the video not Russia.

Putin and his cronies in the RT News have dubbed this Ukraine attack on its military aircraft and the train as an act of "Terrorism".
The reason, was that there were at least seven civilians that were killed and more than 30 injuries.
But what does that make Russia's indiscriminate bombings of civilian infrastructures in Ukraine?

Probably we won't know for some time if they managed to destroy the main supports or not. Its not like the Russian army would play it safe and not use it if it were at risk of collapsing.

I just found this video, it outlines the reports I had read and combines them into the most likely scenario.
One item to note at about 2:43 it shows cars using the rail bridge in the computer rendering instead of a train.
Coverage of the explosion ends at 3:00 mark and continues with ways and systems Ukraine has used it the past and may use in the future to attack the bridge.

Recent released videos of the drone strikes appear to show about 41 hits on planes, unfortunately some of the planes were hit more than once and some three times so the final tally maybe about mid twenties total that destroyed and damaged .
Still not a bad result.

Seems unlikely that they used divers on this and more likely it was drone(s) like Miritchka that they talk about at 3:00.
I can't imagine Ukraine could get a support ship for the divers that close.

they haven't lost 1m guys its about 100-150K. Its Ukraine that has lost about 1.5M. One of the key goals of the war announced by Russia is demilitarization of Ukraine, Thats whats happening. If Ukraine rejects the peace offer, then the goals will change to include Odessa, and 3 other oblasts.
If "demilitarizing" means targeting apartments, cafes, shops, schools, electrical sub-stations and generating facilities... and hospitals... with 300-400 drones every night, then the Russki Mir is going to plan.

But why aren't they using your claimed Russian superiority by striking Ukrainian military targets to "demilitarize" Ukraine?

Or did you make a typo and mean to say that Russia was "demilitarizing" its own military power by wasting their munitions on terrorizing and killing civilians and civilian/cultural targets?

No need to answer... anyone who knows Russian culture knows they would rather throw paint on their neighbours house to deface it rather than paint their own house to improve their own lives.

Sadly for the good, civilized Russian people (like my Russian friends), Russians are going to be widely despised and discriminated against for a long time. Congratulations for your posts not being completely useless. YOU and your ilk damage the future of your own people with your barbaric rhetoric and bullshit delusional justifications. YOU remind me what my grandfather and father, (who lived through the terror of Soviet occupation of their Baltic country TWICE, taught me about Russians. I pretty much forgot about it as I was only a boy, but YOU and Russia's invasion of Ukraine remind me of their words of their experiences 90-100 years ago. Russian barbarism has come out of remission.

To me all the cheering of the drone attack success
in this thread exemplifies why war can be fun to the
cheering crowd from the losing side.

Russia targets civilians. That is a war crime.
Ukraine targeted military assets. And did them whilst the planes were on the ground, thus likely not killing any Russians.

If people can't see that difference...

Not onnly that but they wait 15-2-30 minutes for firemen, medics and anyone who goes to help the wounded from the first attack on an apartment building.

PURE fucking evil.
