Isn't a power plant a civilian target? It's certainly not a military target.

I meant that in the way of "people don't live there". ruzzki assholes targeting living blocks and schools and hospitals - that is really the worst.

It's dual-use infrastructure. It is used for both civilian and military purposes, so it's a valid target under international law.

Oh it actually is. In an actual war any part of the government or infrastructure that supports the military is fair game. So to use the US as an example, hitting the IRS building is probably not okay. But hitting the DFAS building, (they pay the troops), is a thing.
