Russian missile strikes and shelling of energy utilities left more Ukrainian villages, towns and parts of two cities without power on Wednesday, authorities said, tightening an energy squeeze that threatens misery for millions in winter.
A nearly two-week barrage of Russian attacks with missiles, self-destructing explosive drones and other weaponry on Ukraine's critical infrastructure comes as Russian forces are being forced back on the ground.
Kherson is one of four partly or fully-occupied regions that Russia illegally annexed last month, in an effort -- widely condemned and rejected by Western nations -- to cement its land-grabs. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy tweeted Tuesday that nearly a third of Ukraine's power stations have been destroyed since Oct. 10, causing "massive blackouts" nationwide.
Missiles severely damaged an energy facility in the region of Kryvyi Rih, a city in south-central Ukraine, the regional governor reported. He said the strike cut power to villages, towns and to one city district.
