in Ukraine at 6.00AM. Nobody killed. Am I too cynical to wonder why Russia is targeting empty factories "near residential blocks"? If somebody wanted to give the media a great story without actually hurting anybody, this is exactly the kind of thing they would do.

Another show of lethal pinpoint capability, that's all.

Oh Barney, SO stupid, always stating the "obvious", never able to think.

Everything you say appears to irritate him, Mr King.

It certainly is the strangest war & coverage I have known. Where is the Russian airforce? The convoy with no fuel. These strange strikes on random pointless targets. But then a hospital. What to believe? Are the Russians really as inept as appears? Or is this the least willing armed deployment in history? I haven't a clue; but it seems the relationship between armed national forces, social media, civilians and MSM has been changed forever.

The factory's security guard was killed, according to the BBC this morning.

Ukraine says Russian attacks have now killed more civilians than soldiers - without giving an exact figure for either - as the Kremlin's generals pivot from shock-and-awe-style precision strikes to 'medieval' siege warfare. Dnipro, hundreds of miles to the south of Kharkiv, was hit by three strikes early Friday that damaged a kindergarten, a civilian apartment block, and a shoe factory - killing at least one person.
