"Infrastructure" can mean a lot of things.
It can mean communication equipment and data-centers supporting banking and AI.
It can mean roads, rail and air-travel facilities.
It can mean oil refineries and electrical power generation plants.
It can mean grain silos, flour-mills, bakeries and butcher shops.
It can mean hospitals and waste-water treatment plants.
It can mean potable water conduits and desalination plants.
Destruction of some of these assets will cause little more than an inconvenience for the majority of people.
Others will cause a huge constriction in quality of life.
Still others will pose an immediate and dire threat to existing.

Truth is the first casualty of war.
Meanwhile my friends in the 82nd Airborne have canceled training events and are enroute to locations unrevealed.
