Ukrainians have been bracing for a major attack its power system, fearing crippling damage to the grid that would cause long blackouts and build psychological pressure at a critical moment in the wa
Blasts rang out across Ukraine’s capital Kyiv and other cities, as Russia staged its biggest missile attack since August and targeted power facilities with the winter setting in, officials said.
Rescue workers put out a fire of a building which was destroyed by a Russian strike in Brovary, outside Kyiv earlier this week.“Another massive attack on the power system is underway. The enemy is attacking electricity generation and transmission facilities throughout Ukraine,” Ukrainian Energy Minister German Galushchenko wrote on Facebook early Sunday .
The scale of the damage was not immediately clear. Officials cut power supply to numerous city districts, including in Kyiv, the surrounding region and Dnipropetrovsk region, in what they said was a precaution to prevent a surge in case of damage. In Mykolaiv in the south, two people were killed in the overnight drone attack, the regional governor said. Blasts shook the southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia and the Black Sea port of Odesa, witnesses said. More blasts were reported in the regions of Kryvyi Rih in the south and Rivne in the west.
