Source: Business Insider
A Russian plane accidentally dropped two bombs on Russian territory, according to UK intelligence, marking the fourth time it's happened this month.
The UK Ministry of Defence highlighted the incidents in an intelligence update on Tuesday, citing a report by the independent Telegram news channel Astra.
According to the report, a Russian aircraft discharged two FAB-250 bombs in the Belgorod region last Saturday. One hit a farm in Postnikov and another struck an urban street in Streletskaya, prompting the evacuation of about 150 residents living close by, per the outlet.
No injuries were reported, and the bombs were defused on Sunday, it said.

Bombed themselves. Nothing of consequence was destroyed.

They've got most of that now, so the point now is mainly the cruelty.
