Russian missiles rained down on the recently liberated city of Kherson for the second day Friday, killing at least 10 people and injuring dozens more as Moscow’s forces escalated attacks on Ukraine’s battered power grid in a bid to freeze Kyiv into submission.

Soldiers in the region had warned that Kherson would face intensified strikes as Russian troops dig in across the Dnieper River after being forced to retreat from the city two weeks ago. Kherson’s population has dwindled to around 80,000 from its prewar level near 300,000. The government has said it will help people evacuate if they want to, but many say they have no place to go.
Millions of Ukrainians were without power, water or heat after Russian airstrikes targeting the country’s infrastructure.Ukrainians were urged to stock up on water and warm clothing as temperatures dipped below zero.“Together we endured nine months of full-scale war and Russia has not found a way to break us, and will not find one,” President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a video address overnight.
