Default X-15 damage

In Pete Knight's obituary in AvWeek, it mentioned that the record setting
Mach 6+ flight in the X-15A2 resulted in structural damage to the aircraft
that resulted in it being withdrawn from use. Was the damage a result of the
thermal environment or was it the dynamic pressure envirnoment?
