This is a thread specifically for the war, not a general megathread (use the pinned /c/genzedong thread for that).
Please keep related news in this thread rather than making separate posts. Remember to include sources and avoid spreading rumours.
People will eventually find out when they don't see their son, husband, brother, etc ever again. I imagine some people are already having trouble contacting their family members/friends over there and the military is just giving them the runaround.
