Given that it takes a few days for Russian armed forces to prepare missiles for launch, it's almost certain that they planned their "response" to yesterday's Ukrainian refusal to consider peace talks, a launch of about 100 missiles predominantly aimed at key military targets like apartment buildings, power generation, and at least one town in eastern Poland. Here's a map:unless you've got a much better eye than I do, I don't see any plausibly military targets within 20 miles. Given that "wounded birds" don't fly well, I'm guessing this is a problem with the guidance system, not that Ukrainian anti-aircraft missiles hit it.
Pro tip for Russia; if your missiles can't hit within 20 miles of the intended target, it's a war crime to launch them because it's indiscriminate attacks that will kill civilians, as tragically occurred today. Time to send your generals to Den Haag for trial. And their boss, of course. Putina delenda est!
Update: it turns out that the missile was a S-300 fired by Ukraine to intercept incoming Russian drones and missiles. But that noted, you don't blame the defender when his defense measures go awry; you blame the country that launched missiles at the defender.
