That's mighty big of them

It's always a good thing when someone steps up and offers to pay you for damaging your property without a lot of legal wrangling. Especially when they shoot a rocket into your house:

Russia's military Thursday offered compensation to a homeowner after a small rocket veered off course and hit his country house outside Moscow.

Russian Internet chatrooms were buzzing late Wednesday after local news agencies reported that "an unidentified flying object dropped two bombs near Moscow."

A defense ministry official told Reuters two rockets had gone astray during a military exercise near Moscow Wednesday afternoon. One hit the roof of an unoccupied house 3.5 km (2.2 miles) away.

"The damage is estimated at 60,000 rubles ($2,466). It will be compensated for in two days," said Yevgeny Konashenkov, spokesman for Russian land troops. "The owner of the house treats the incident with understanding. He has no legal claims."

Yeah, well, he really shouldn't have to take them to court. After all, the army is pretty clearly at fault here, seeing as how they're probably the only group of people mucking around the outskirts of Moscow with rocket launchers. At least I would hope so.
