Crossword Genius

Offensive occupation? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

invasion

I believe this is a double definition.

'offensive' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'occupation?' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for invasion that I've seen before include "Unwelcome intrusion" , "Incursive attack" , "Encroachment by an army" , "Entry into foreign country to conquer it" , "Encroachment by enemy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Sun.
