Emergency Blackouts In Several Parts Of Ukraine Due To Russian Shelling: Report

ABP News  

Russia launched a second wave of missiles into Ukraine on Saturday, driving residents to flee as sirens wailed across the country just hours after air attacks destroyed crucial infrastructure in Kyiv and Kharkiv, news agency Reuters reported. Since October, Moscow has been attacking Ukraine's energy infrastructure with missiles and drones, creating widespread blackouts and interruptions to central heating and running water as winter approaches. No one was reported injured as a result of the initial wave, but missile debris started a fire in one location and damaged houses outside the city, Reuters reported citing officials. According to Air Force spokesperson Yuriy Ihnat, Russia's missiles were most likely launched from the north on a high, looping ballistic trajectory, which would explain why the air raid alarm did not ring, the report said.
