    https://news.yahoo.com/ukraine-appears-begun-shelling-russian-005724169.html

    The Ukrainian military has begun to take the fight to Russian territory, a new development in what has been a primarily defensive war for the country.

    Russian authorities were forced to place two villages under emergency orders and evacuate some citizens due to Ukrainian shelling in the area, according to reports from multiple Russian media outlets.

    RIA Novosti, a Russian government-controlled publication, reported Tuesday that an explosion near the village of Zhuravlyovka injured four people. The outlet reported that the source of the explosion was an attack that originated from within Ukraine.

    Interfax, another Kremlin-friendly publication, reported that Zhuravlyovka and the nearby town of Niekhoteyevka were placed under emergency orders, and roughly 180 people were evacuated to the city of Belgorod as the result of an explosion at an ammunition depot.

    Interfax did not pin blame for the explosion on Ukraine, but it did note that authorities believe it was not an accident.

                      That made me look

                      That kind of military plane normally wouldn't be seen, because they would not have a transponder turned on. If the transponder is on, they want to be seen.

                      I spotted this guy, just now

                        My gallows humor keeps imagining this scenario where Russia is eventually beaten back, Putin removed from power, and five years later Ukraine attacks Poland bearing the Swastika and we find out Zelensky is really Adolph Hitler’s great-grandson…

                              I believe the discussion revolved around Ukraine invading Russian territory. There would be no strategic advantage. Strikes against specific high value targets are a very different matter.

                                True. I can see them justifying it by saying that the oil depot was used to provide supplies for the Russian invaders. It might be a weak response, but nothing like attacking a city in Russia.

                                    I’m going to stop watching the war until this season is over, then binge all of it to catch up before next season starts.

                                      It is good for the country feelings to do this.

                                      I remember @Jolly (?) posting a story about the first US bombs to Tokyo. At the time, not much "war" value, but it really got the spirits up.

                                        This attack has strategic value. The Russians are having fuel problems. This will just exacerbate that problem.
