Russia unleashes nighttime barrage on Ukraine’s power grid
Ukraine

RUSSIAN forces unleashed a nighttime barrage of more than 50 cruise missiles and explosive drones at Ukraine’s power grid today, targeting a wide area in what President Volodymyr Zelensky called a “massive” attack.

The bombardment blasted targets in seven Ukrainian regions, including the Kiev area and parts of the south and west, damaging homes and the country’s rail network, authorities said. Three people, including an eight-year-old girl, were injured, according to officials.

Russia and Ukraine have stepped up attacks on each others’ energy infrastructure this year.
