Kyiv attack death toll rises to 15 as "military targets" turn out to be homes

Original version ·

Another morning, another round of Russia's favorite game: firing millions of dollars worth of missiles at civilian apartments in Kyiv and pretending they hit a secret NATO base.

The numbers from the latest strike on Kyiv keep climbing. We are now at 15 dead and 56 injured, including seven kids.

It is almost impressive how the Kremlin's "high-precision" missiles always seem to find residential kitchens and bedrooms instead of actual military outposts. The search and rescue teams have been digging through the rubble for hours, finding people who were literally just sleeping in their own beds.

Meanwhile, the global community is likely preparing another strong statement about how escalations are bad, while locals just sweep up the glass and try to figure out how to explain this to the children.

A classic case of state-sponsored terror that somehow still gets debated in cozy diplomatic offices.

    and tomorrow some western academic will write a paper on why putin was 'provoked'.
    +6 solidAh, the academic 'provocation' theory—because nothing says intellectual rigor like blaming the victim for existing
