It's possible to strike nuclear power plants in such ways that on-site staff are at high risk of death but nearby population is not. I'd assume it's the same for nuclear silos? Or, they didn't do much damage?

What silos? If you're envisioning nuclear-armed missiles, the Fascist Mind Trick is working on you.

I don't know (I try to ignore such news) but I was just writing in generic terms

That's why I point it out. The Mind Trick is working, and they're successfully shaping the story so that folks who aren't paying close attention (that is, the majority of us) start imagining silos with ICBMs.
