Two people killed in assault launched on country’s energy infrastructure as temperatures dip towards freezing
Several Ukrainian regions suffered power cuts in frigid winter weather on Tuesday after Russia launched its latest deadly large-scale attack with drones and missiles, authorities said.
Neighbouring Poland scrambled jets to protect its airspace during the strikes, the country’s military said in a post on X.
“Russia once again is attacking our energy infrastructure. As a result, emergency power outages have been introduced in a number of Ukrainian regions,” Ukraine’s energy ministry said on Telegram.
Ukraine’s power operator, Ukrenergo, said fires broke out in several regions as a result of the “massive missile and drone attack”, as temperatures dipped towards freezing in most of the country.
