    Russian Warplanes Are Bombing Russia, Aiming To Block Invading
    Ukrainian Troops

    As the Ukrainian invasion of Russia grinds into its fifth day,
    Ukrainian troops have advanced as far as 10 miles into Kursk
    Oblast--and are beginning to mop up any Russian troops they bypassed
    in their hurry to extend their zone of control.

    The Russians, meanwhile, are finally bringing to bear their heaviest firepower--lobbing powerful glide bombs at Ukrainian columns rolling
    along Russian roads.

    The Kremlin might not mind accidentally killing Ukrainian civilians,
    but it's apparently less eager to kill Russians. As the bombing or
    Kursk intensifies, authorities have ordered an evacuation of the
    oblast.

    It's an ominous development for the Ukrainian invasion corps. With
    civilians out of the way, the Russians can bomb with abandon.
