Uman is the headquarters of a Ukrainian Air Defense Regt.
Air defenses have become a primary target as the Russians seek to preempt Uke preps for an offensive prob in the south.

Unfortunately Ukes put their military units in the middle of civilian areas ( we saw this in Iraq with Saddam Hussein). Precision strikes are difficult when the target is surrounded by hi rises. Also we have seen in the past that when the Ukes fire at incoming missiles, sometimes they knock them off course, or the air defense missiles (often S-300) fail to hit the target and land instead on civilians.

Its not a war crime, not a deliberate effort to target civilians.
However, it is a war crime when the Ukes target civilian areas of Donetsk and Lugansk. No news has reported the civilians killed yesterday in Donetsk when the Ukes shelled a city bus.

How dare the Ukrainians defend themselves against Russian attacks on their cities!
