I’d made a comment a couple posts ago about the missile attacks taking out power across the country. In the text, I implied that such attacks could constitute a war crime, because they were largely affecting the civilian population. I didn’t link to any source material because I didn’t have anything definitive on the subject; assorted comments in larger posts, with similarly brief descriptions of why.

Fortunately, the BBC has an article out note expounding on the subject, with a great description of why attacks on the infrastructure could indeed be a war crime. Is attacking Ukraine’s power grid a war crime? – BBC The general answer is “it depends,” but given the impacts and broad-scale nature of the attacks, it certainly seems that is the case here.
