Of a dumb bomb, of course, then clearly the idea is to just bomb fairly much at random. when you see deliberate intent to attack civilians has been in kharkiv and mariupol and in kyiv, where you have the use of these multiple rocket launching systems designed to kill everything and everybody in an area twice the size of a football pitch. in those cases, there is no question that is an absolutely deliberate attack against civilians. but youre absolutely right, more broadly, we have seen this repe...

>> so, ill start with the attack here in kyiv this morning. it was another apartment complex and they seem to be the favorite targets of russia these days. where they are just lobbing missiles into this city, apparently at random. they certainly seem to be falling indiscriminately. its not a constant stream of incoming missiles but each time they land, when they land on an apartment building, they cause casualties. and luckily, if you can call anything about this lucky, in the center of a court ...
