How can you tell? Genuinely interested as I thought the shrapnel was just blasted rubble.

I mean it definitely looks like a low bridge there's railing on either side and the big hole in the center of it looks like a hole in a bridge.

This is very common in the Ukraine-Russian war where both sides launch multiple munitions across a bridge to take it fully down in the center.

You can also see all the rebar sticking up in the first hole, which definitely indicates it is a bridge and not a road. Roads don't have rebar through them. Bridges do.

Oh thank you, I meant for the type of warhead.

Look at my other comment to prole, it's absolutely not a "shrapnel warhead". A warhead with shrapnel as its main design would detonate well above the ground and pepper the ground with shrapnel and would have little effect on a bridge.
