Russian Airstrikes Hit Ukraine's Power Grid, Prompt Emergency Blackouts: Report

ABP News  

Waves of Russian airstrikes jolted Ukraine on Tuesday, prompting officials to declare emergency blackouts after assaults from east to west knocked out electricity and targeted residential structures in Kyiv, news agency Associated Press reported. The aerial assault, which killed at least one person in a residential building in the capital, Kyiv, came after days of elation in Ukraine fueled by one of the country's largest military victories in the almost nine-month war, the retaking of the southern city of Kherson last week, AP reported. pic.twitter.com/UjOeQj8tod — The Kyiv Independent November 15, 2022 As its war losses increase, Russia has increasingly turned to target Ukraine's electricity grid in recent months, evidently expecting to use the approaching winter as a weapon by putting people in the cold and dark. The southern city is without power and water, and Matilda Bogner, the head of the UN human rights office's monitoring mission in Ukraine, declared a "dire humanitarian situation" there on Tuesday, The Kyiv Independent reported.
