Interesting that Ars is reporting on what amounts to Russian press releases, despite no indication or evidence that Ukraine ever targeted space launch facilities. So far most Ukrainian attacks in Russian have been targeting military logistics or oil production. This would be quite the escalation out of left field if were to be carried out

Plesetsk is about 400 km to the north from both Saint Petersburg which was attacked recently, and Perm which was attacked twice in the last few days.
I think if we had such capabilities, we would rather attack Omsk refinery, which is much bigger, much easier to hit, contains lots of highly flammable liquids and gasses (especially within ELOU-AVT module during the operation), and such impact would have a huge hit on russian oil revenues.

What else is new? They target every piece of infrastructure possible, spaceports included.
