Russian missiles crashed into infrastructure targets across Ukraine as Moscow stepped up what looked like a deliberate campaign to destroy electricity and water facilities before winter
The major of Zhytomyr, a city of 263,000 people, said the attacks had knocked out the power and water supply, and two explosions rocked an energy facility in the southeastern city of Dnipro, a city of nearly 1 million, causing serious damage, according to Kyrylo Tymoshenko, a Ukrainian presidential aide.
"Ukraine is under fire by the occupiers. They continue to do what they do best - terrorise and kill civilians," Zelenskiy wrote on the Telegram messaging app. Russia carried out its latest strikes on Tuesday after the United States warned it would hold Moscow accountable for any war crimes. A missile had completely destroyed one wing of a building in the downtown area, leaving a massive crater, they said. A fire crew was seen pulling the dead body of a man from the rubble.
