Did you expect anything else? You poke and spit at the bear enough, it will maul you. If all of this was contained to Ukraine and not bringing in car bombs, missiles might not be raining down right now
Russia's missile attacks on civilians harm Russia more than Ukraine. Ukraine is using this as a massive propaganda coup and getting a new round of media coverage out of it.
Russia's missile attacks have absolutely no military or deterrence value, because they didn't blow up anything militarily valuable, and were instead just a temper tantrum thrown by Putin after the humiliation of getting one of his prized infrastructure projects, the Kerch Bridge, blown up.
Since the Russians were already fighting as hard as they could before these attacks, they had no ability to escalate. The answer to the question "why didn't it do these attacks sooner?" is "because it would be a waste of valuable missiles" not "because we are nice guys and prefer to fight with 1 hand behind our backs". So all these attacks were is a self-own, a waste of missiles, and a propaganda failure.
And you better believe the pro-UKR west is going to exploit the propaganda coup they were handed to the hilt. Total unforced error by Putin.
That bridge was a military target, because it supplied the entire Russian army in the south. Unlike some random pedestrian bridge, a random car on the street, or a random German consulate in Kiev.
It also shows Russia has ran out of precision strike missiles and are using dumb missiles. The sanctions and the war is taking its toll.
It is fascinating to see how the pro-Russia crowd is celebrating the destruction of a pedestrian bridge with no military benefit. It smells like a massive cope to me for the pro-Russian shills.

You are absolutely correct.

Also Russia's missile missed that pedestrian bridge and blew up underneath it. The bridge is still ok: https://twitter.com/Liveuamap/status/1579367430111232000
Russia launched a $13 million KH-101 cruise missile at a pedestrian bridge and it didn't even hit the target. lol.
Wow!!! So they are very incompetent! I am surprised they still know which direction Kiev is!
