Firstly, Ukraine isn't a a state on of terrorism, they are a independent state at war from a foreign invader. Every inch of Ukraine belongs to them and I hope they fight just as hard to regain their land back.
Imagine Russian troops marching in to Alaska and annexing it? How well do you think that'd go down.

Nope I saw it on Fox and Headline news that Kharkiv was hit by missiles. Fox has a reporter right in Kharkiv and he said the whole city is on edge expecting more missiles to come in at anytime. I haven't watched any Russian TeeVee since last night
They didnt say what was hit in Kharkiv only that "non civilian building were hit"

No military utility, just pure murderous spite.

Propaganda is thick on this from both sides. Russia says so what? but considering the 4 billion dollar bridge was one of Putin's accomplishments it has to sting and will likely garner a harsh response.
and is it just me isn't it a little crazy that Ukraine already has a commemorative stamp of the explosion already designed and in the works? Good to see all the aid being put to good use. This is akin to Vietnam making a stamp of the TET offensive the morning it happened. Just a new aspect of modern warfare?

"So?": Russian authorities and propagandists react to the destruction of Crimean bridge
Officials of Russia and occupied Crimea, as well as Russian propagandists, are reacting to the explosion and fire on the Crimean bridge with threats.
Source: Ukrainska Pravda; Mariya Zakharova, the spokeswoman of the Russian Ministry for Foreign Affairs, on Telegram
Quote from Zakharova: "The reaction of the Kyiv regime to the destruction of civilian infrastructure testifies to its terrorist nature."
Details: Andrey Gurulev, an MP for the Russian State Duma [the Russian Parliament] said that he was "furious" and that "such things happen in war."
Quote from Gurulev: "We definitely need a strong answer, and we will give it. But there is no need to rush here, we need to think everything through to the smallest detail; now the main thing is not to give in to emotions.
Our Commander-in-Chief [Putin] knows how to take balanced and strong decisions, he will do it, I am sure, the time has come."

Ukrposhta, the national postal service of Ukraine, is to release a new stamp depicting the burning Crimean Bridge; the release date will be announced later.
Source: General Director of Ukrposhta Ihor Smilianskyi on Telegram
Quote from Smilianskyi: "The morning has never been so good.. On the occasion of the holiday, we are releasing a new stamp with the Crimean Bridge, or, more precisely, with what remains of it."
Details: According to Smilianskyi, the stamp comes with a name of M (for "mist", Ukrainian for "bridge"); the price will be 18 hryvnias [US$0.48], and circulation will be 7 million.
The officials also said that the stamp has been prepared together with Ukrainian artist Yurii Shapoval. "It shows a washing machine [Russians stole a number of these when breaking into civilians’ houses – ed.], enemy equipment, and handcuffs that Crimea breaks with Russia," he added.
Celebrating the destruction of a civilian bridge that was one of the main transport lines for food and supplies to millions of Crimean citizens is very weird.
I thought Ukraine cared about the Crimean people? Well we already know they don't because as soon as Crimea joined Russia, Ukraine built a dam that cut off the flow of fresh water into Crimea which killed all the crops and ruined all the farm lands in Crimea.

HIMARS? maybe ATACMs ?
I dunno this looks different
It’s like it airburst over the road bridge?
Strange
Maybe Ukraine has built a new unknown SRBM

It was well out of range for HIMARS, and I don't see any of the ATACMS tell-tale signs.
