The attack was designed to be against civilians! [...] UPDATE 10:51 PM EDT -- This attack comes after reports began surfacing in the US, CLAIMING (not yet verified) the US has granted permission for Ukraine to attack interior Russia, with U.S.-Supplied weapons. One weapons system which is being specifically mentioned in these reports, is the HIMARS with ATACMS long-range missiles. Of course, these particular weapons require in-flight guidance from...U.S. military satellites. So if the U.S. is now allowing Ukraine to select targets and have U.S. satellites guide the weapons to those targets, the Russian Foreign Ministry says this makes the US an active party to the conflict.
