https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/russia-bombs-us-factory-one-104750986.htmlRussia struck an American business with cruise missiles overnight in one of the largest aerial attacks of the war so far, Ukraine has said.
The Ukrainian air force said some 574 drones and 40 missiles were fired overnight, primarily targeting western regions of the country – far from the battlefield’s front line in the east and south of the country.
The strikes killed one person and injured 15 more and struck a “major American electronics manufacturer”, according to Andrii Sybiha, Ukraine’s foreign minister.
Video footage showed a large fire at the premises of Flex Ltd, a multinational firm headquartered in Texas.
The company manufactures electronic goods including games consoles, laptops and control units for cars and other vehicles.
The bombardment was Russia’s third-largest aerial attack this year in terms of the number of drones fired and eighth-largest in terms of missiles.
Poland scrambled aircraft to protect its airspace during the overnight attack on Lviv, which is less than 50 miles from the Polish border. Warsaw said it saw no violations of its airspace.
EXCERPT
Putin's answer to Trump, with the Russians' "escalate to de-escalate" strategy. I wonder what Trump's going to say about that?
(This seemed like it deserved it's own thread, considering that the Russians deliberately hit an American company.)
