Ukraine’s Energy Sector Targeted
Russia's ongoing attacks continue to focus on Ukraine’s critical energy infrastructure. Andriy Yermak, head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, made it clear that these attacks would have severe consequences for Russia. He warned that the cost of trying to destroy Ukraine’s energy sector would be paid with the destruction of Russian infrastructure.
Nationwide Emergency Blackouts Implemented
In the wake of the attacks, DTEK, a major energy company, announced that they had received orders from Ukrenergo to initiate emergency blackouts across the country. These outages are unplanned and unpredictable, as power engineers work tirelessly to restore electricity to affected homes. The Cherkasy and Mykolaiv regions were among the first to enforce these emergency shutdowns following directives from Ukrenergo.
Explosions Rock Kyiv and Other Ukrainian Cities
The capital city of Kyiv experienced multiple explosions, with reports of blasts in various districts. Members of the Kyiv Post team confirmed hearing explosions during the attack. The assault extended beyond Kyiv, with explosions reported in Kharkiv, Kryvyi Rih, Kropyvnytskyi, Dnipro, Khmelnytskyi, and Vinnytsia.
Russian Missiles Launched from Multiple Locations
The Russian military’s assault involved missile launches from the Caspian Sea, with aircraft departing from several airfields, including Engels, Diaghilev, Olenya, and Shaikovka. Additional missiles were launched from Black Sea carriers, and a large-scale drone raid was reported in regions such as Rivne, Zhytomyr, Kyiv, Poltava, Chernihiv, and Sumy. Sergiy Lysak, the governor of the Dnipropetrovsk region, described the attack as an "en masse" assault by Russian forces.
Kyiv Hit During Rush Hour
In Kyiv, the attack occurred during the morning rush hour, with explosions rattling the city. Ukraine's military warned of an extensive missile and drone attack, following waves of earlier drone strikes. The Ukrainian air force reported that Russia had 11 TU-95 strategic bombers in the air and
