Russian civilians weren't targeted, the missile was intercepted by russian air defense on its way to a military target. The shrapnel happened to fall on that beach.

Edit: If you're thinking of holidaying in an active warzone, perhaps reconsider.

That was an ATACM missile with a cluster bomb warhead. Not "shrapnel".

So you're saying israelis holding a rave next to a concentration camp should have reconsidered their location on Oct7?

It was an "ATACM missile with a cluster bomb warhead" until russian air defence turned it into shrapnel

Yup.

Although not sure why we're talking about Israel now, this conversation was about Russia blaming ukraine for bombing intentionally civilians when they were actually attempting to bomb legitimate military targets, likely in sevastapol bay.

The Oct7 attack isn't even comperable, civilians were actively targeted there, not so here
