Russia has unleashed its most significant attack on Ukraine's energy infrastructure since the onset of winter, striking power facilities across multiple regions. The attack resulted in seven casualties and severe damage to the electrical grid, triggering emergency power cuts in the capital Kyiv. This marks the beginning of a campaign to disrupt Ukraine's energy supply during the colder months.
Russia has launched its most intense aerial assault on Ukraine's energy infrastructure in months, targeting power facilities across multiple regions including the capital Kyiv. The attack, which occurred overnight, involved a combination of ballistic missiles and drones, resulting in significant damage to the electrical grid and causing emergency power cuts.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that seven people were killed, including a child, and that critical infrastructure was hit in five different regions. The state power grid operator Ukrenergo confirmed that the strikes led to the imposition of the first emergency power cuts since spring, affecting tram and trolleybus services in Kyiv. This campaign is seen as a prelude to Russia's winter-time strategy of targeting civilians by destroying energy supply lines to create a 'winter of darkness' for Ukraine.
