    So this article about Russia bombing itself is not news worthy because Ukraine bombed them too? I’m not sure I’m following your logic here.

    If you have a better news source that disproves this event occurred I’m sure we’re all ears.

      Russia didn’t bomb itself. Ukraine launched a revenge attack as they claimed themselves. Whether further explosions happened due to air defense is irrelevant for the overall picture which should be reflected in the headline. The claimed air defense incidents would not have happened without the retaliation in the time frame of this specific event.

        Ukraine launched a revenge attack as they claimed themselves.

        Yep, that’s called “war”.

        But like I said… find me a source that actually says anything otherwise and I’m sure we’ll all listen. Otherwise, unless you were there yourself and saw where the missile launched from, your opinion is irrelevant.
