It, and any kind of infrastructure, would be a prime target - assuming that is what they want. But infrastructure represents value, destroying a country's powergrid and connections like that is only a thing if your aim is complete destruction.

Ideally, in war, you destroy their military, or at least damage it enough for the other party to concede and discuss peace terms, and leave the rest alone.

WW2 was, I believe, the last war where they went for complete destruction of infrastructure, industry, and civilians. The Allies firebombed Dresden and nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It is estimated that 50-55 million civilians died in WW2, of which part due to disease and famine. No conflict since has had that high a civilian casualty rate.
