Russian Aerial Attack Leaves Over a Million Ukrainians Without Power #

A massive Russian aerial assault on Ukraine’s critical energy infrastructure left more than a million households without power. As the conflict enters its third winter, Ukraine’s energy system faced heavy bombardment overnight, with attacks reported across the entire country. Emergency power cuts followed, affecting regions such as Lviv, Volyn, and Rivne.

In the central Vinnytsia region, at least one person was injured, while another was hurt in the southern Odesa region. Air defenses were activated nationwide, including in Kyiv, where an air raid alert lasted over nine hours due to a combined missile and drone attack. No immediate casualties were reported in the capital.

Earlier, Russia had launched a record 188 drones, damaging crucial infrastructure in western Ukraine. This attack intensifies the existing energy crisis following repeated strikes on Ukraine’s power grid since the full-scale invasion began. The situation remains dynamic with ongoing developments.
