Ukraine's national energy operator has announced significant power cuts for the Kyiv region and well as others areas in the east. This is after another major missile and drone assault on Ukraine's energy infrastructure coming from Russia, estimated at about 120 missiles and some 90 drones.
The massive combined air attack marked one of the largest of the war thus far, and killed and wounded several people. It appears to be in response to ongoing Ukrainian attacks on Russian military and naval sites and oil depots.
President Zelensky in a message claimed Ukraine anti-air forces were able to shoot down over 140 of the inbound Russian projectiles. But building fires and damage across the country point to many dozens of drone and missiles having got through to hit targets.
"The enemy’s target was our energy infrastructure throughout Ukraine. Unfortunately, there is damage to objects from hits and falling debris. In Mykolaiv, as a result of a drone attack, two people were killed and six others were injured, including two children," Zelensky described.
Two others were reported killed in the Odessa region from the assault. A couple days ago, surreal footage of massive efforts to repel an aerial assault was captured and widely circulated:
Wait until those nazis start using the missiles ‘Biden’ just approved. That’s when Russia will start dropping some serious hardware on Ukraine. Remember Russia said using those missiles deep inside Russia will be a declaration of war. I bet Starmer is throwing a party right now in anticipation of the war
When the SMO started in February 2022, NATO /US/EU/UK were warned that if they attack Russia, then Russia will hit the Decision Making Centres.
Last night Russia hit areas of Ukraine with 159 drones as well as Kinzels. It’s interesting that one particular area could be the staging area for the F15s or whatever US gave them.
