Russia launched a large-scale attack on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure overnight, killing at least ten people and leaving widespread blackouts across several regions, Ukrainian officials said on Saturday.
Emergency power outages were introduced across much of the country after hundreds of missiles and drones struck power and gas facilities. Ukraine’s air force said it intercepted 406 out of 458 drones and nine of 45 missiles launched in the overnight assault.
The strikes hit Kyiv, Dnipro, Kharkiv, Odesa, Chernihiv, Poltava, Sumy and Zaporizhzhia.
