Massive Russian missile attack forces Ukraine to introduce power cuts

Deccan Chronicle  

Russia launched a massive aerial attack on Ukraine on Wednesday, prompting the country to implement preventive power cuts, according to Ukrainian Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko. The state energy company Ukrenergo reported emergency power outages in several regions, including Kharkiv, Sumy, Poltava, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovsk, and Kirovohrad. Russian forces targeted energy infrastructure in the western Lviv region with missile strikes early Wednesday, confirmed the city's mayor, Andrii Sadovyi. Ukraine’s air force detected multiple missile groups launched by Russia, triggering a nationwide air-raid alert, though initial reports indicated no significant damage.
