Russian missile blitz cripples Ukraine energy systems
Russian forces launched a massive, combined attack using missiles and drones on Ukraine's energy infrastructure early Thursday morning. Explosions were heard in Kyiv, and threats were reported in areas near the Polish border.
"The Russians continue their terror tactics. They have stockpiled missiles for attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure and to conduct warfare against civilians during the freezing winter months. They were aided by their insane allies, particularly North Korea. Currently, the Russians are conducting a combined shelling of the country. They are even targeting children. Ukraine has the means to respond," said the head of the Ukrainian President's Office, Andriy Yermak.
Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko warned that emergency power outages had been implemented due to the attack.
Halushchenko reported on Facebook that Ukraine's energy sector is facing another significant assault, with energy facilities nationwide being targeted. In response, the transmission system operator, Ukrenerho, has swiftly introduced emergency power outages.
