Tensions escalate in Ukraine as Russia launched a massive drone and missile assault on multiple regions, including Kyiv, Zaporizhzhia, Odesa, Dnipro, and Chernihiv, resulting in significant casualties and widespread infrastructure damage.
At least 13 people killed, including a 7-year-old boy in Zaporizhzhia, and dozens injured, with many hospitalized.
Over 800,000 residents in Kyiv experienced power outages; significant damage reported at thermal power plants and other key energy infrastructure.
Russia reportedly launched around 450 drones and 30 missiles targeting energy facilities and critical infrastructure.
Despite Ukrainian air defenses intercepting many projectiles, the strikes caused severe disruptions to power, water, gas supplies, and public transportation, marking one of the most intense attacks on Ukraine’s energy grid to date.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy indicated that the attacks were strategically timed to hit Ukraine as winter approaches, aiming to cripple energy supplies and affect civilian life.
Ukraine has called for enhanced international support, including advanced air defense systems and the use of frozen Russian assets to aid in reconstruction and defense efforts.
These attacks underscore the ongoing challenges Ukraine faces in defending its sovereignty, infrastructure, and civilians amidst the ongoing conflict.
