It seems incredibly unlucky to hit 2 people in somewhere so sparsely populated. It has to be a targeted

Most Surface to Air missile systems use infrared (or "heat-seeking") as part of their targetting system so while it seems like a huge coincidence, it's actually quite plausible that a stray missile in a large open area would hit a dwelling/vehicle etc. because they're the only thing in the area generating any heat in a cold area. More likely at this time of year as the surrounding area will be even colder by contrast.

Makes sense. Poor Ukrainians they must feel so awful.
