    Crimea has been occupied for a decade, it’s hardly an active warzone.

    And they aren’t crossing into enemy territory. People live there. And lots of them are Russian, including the authorities.

    And finally, a beach might just be the safest place in Ukraine. What do you think is going to happen?

        There were cluster bombs raining on the beach after russian AA shot down one of the rockets. But IIRC that beach was close to the military base, so it was pretty stupid to even go there.

        Some people really want that Darwin award.

        Plus there’s russian propaganda with 100% successful AA and everything being under control with their 3 day special military operation.

          Well to their credit the AA did work that day. Would’ve been safer for the beach if it hadn’t.

            Most of the time when russia successfully (according to russian media) intercepts missile or drone, the falling debris hits the intended target. Perhaps it was surprising that working AA actually leads to different outcomes.

              And Russia claimed the attack targeted the beach, so we know for a fact it was indeed intercepted.
