Here's some excellent footage of the bridge to Crimea getting blasted today

Some reports said it was a truck explosion. From the video it's hard to be certain

Supply lines and isolation?
The territory will be difficult for the Russians to support, but they are the ones desperate to keep it, or at least the pretence of controlling it. The Crimea has been a hot propaganda topic for some time.
The troops and materiel there will be ineffective in reinforcing any nearby actions that find themselves in a corner. The occupying forces are split up, and any efforts at supporting them involve slow moving logistics lines in predictable locations. They’ll be besieged. With winter coming. All the time that the krumblin are demonstrating the nation’s regard and care of its own, anyone here may have quite a while to consider exactly how important they are on a human level to their own masters.

From a Ukraine point of view, it’s a big propaganda item, and yet one which does not need to be fully resolved just yet.

As for the bridge explosion- I thought I saw in another clip what seemed like an approaching flare, that might indicate a rocket or two.

It is a major artery for Russian forces who control most of southern Ukraine's Kherson region, and for the Russian naval port of Sevastopol, whose governor told locals: "Keep calm. Don't panic."

Happy Birthday mr President
