RUSSIA’S “MASSIVE” OVERNIGHT ATTACK ON UKRAINE
President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned an assault of more than 200 missiles and drones that ranged from Kyiv to Odesa to Ukraine’s West. Energy infrastructure was again a target.
The drone and missile attacks , which began around dawn, targeted energy infrastructure in the capital, Kyiv, and in the regions of Lviv and Rivne in the West and Zaporizhzhia in the Southeast, the authorities said.
The strikes appeared to be an escalation of a Russian campaign against Ukraine’s power grid and inflicted damage significant enough to cause blackouts in Kyiv and other cities.
”Like most previous Russian strikes, this one is just as vile, targeting critical civilian infrastructure,” Mr. Zelensky said in a post on the Telegram messaging app. “There is a lot of damage in the energy sector,” he said, adding that crews were repairing the damage.
Russia has repeatedly targeted Ukrainian energy infrastructure in attempts to damage the economy and compound civilian misery caused by the war.
Officials said at least four people had been killed and more than 30 others injured An earlier estimate said that eight people had died.
Air-raid sirens have become a grim routine for many in Ukraine, and people in Kyiv sought shelter in basements and in the city’s subway system, whose stations are deep underground.
