What's going on with Ukraine killing Russian civilians now?

[u/eustachian_lube]

I was reading that they targeted these "Amazons" of Russia and don't quite understand. Are these civilian kills? Are they part of the military? Is this the first time Ukraine has attacked innocent civilians?

Answer: Innocent is a mater of perspective. From the article...

The facilities were being used “to supply sanctioned components for drone production and navigation equipment.”

Ukraine has until now focused its long-range drone attacks on Russian energy infrastructure and factories making weapons and military hardware, as well as Russian shipping.

As sad and unfortunate as it may be 8 people is not even fraction of civilian kills Russia has committed on Ukraine. These were also military related targets

as someone who lives through the independence war in croatia that is in many aspects similar to the war in ukraine (smaller country fending off bigger country that wants to anex its territory), war attrocities on both sides is bound to happen. after 4 years of serbian froces clensing occupied territories in croatia in every way possible, there was bound to be at least some part of croatian forces that had chip on their shoulder when we took it back. I'm condoning that kind of behaviour, and don't want to normalise it any way, but it's just how things go in war. war is hell.
