Wasn’t it actually the Russian air defence systems that hit their own buildings while trying to shoot down drones? That’s what it looked like to me.

I liked Shakespeare - Hamlet, MacBeth, Julius Caesar, The Merchant of Venice, The Tempest.
Also Animal Farm.

I didn’t care much for Lord of the Flies, or My Family and Other Animals.

I only read the Old Man and the Sea later as an adult, along with other Hemingway books which I enjoyed.
