Graffiti seen on bridge in Ulan Bator, Mongolia:

Россия, не связывайся с монголами. Чингиз уже надрал тебе задницу. Мы сделаем это снова.

Translation: Russia, do not get involved with Mongols. Genghiz already kicked your ass. We will do it again.

Maybe that was deliberate? Selling the liberation B.S.?

Good news. Would love to know how they pulled it off, but probably best that we don't.

Several reports said that a truck blew up. Not sure if I believe that, looking at locations where the damage occurred. They seem to be spread out.

BBC is saying only the road portion is destroyed. Damn. They need to try again.

@jon-nyc I hope the BBC is wrong...
