Mountain's Shadow Dojo and Burn It Down, Again!

Can Burn It Down target a province if there is no enemy card at that province? Can it target a province if the range strike is coming from the Reaction on Mountain's Shadow Dojo and there is no enemy card at that province?

Mountain's Shadow Dojo Battle: Even if this Stronghold is bowed, target one of your Crane Clan Samurai: Ranged 3 Attack. Move him home or to another battlefield.

Burn It Down Reaction: After you announce an action with a Ranged Attack effect: One of the Ranged Attacks may target this battlefield’s province instead of an enemy card. If it does, reduce the province’s strength by the Ranged Attack’s strength when it resolves.

Thanks!,
