Blasts in Kyiv, Kharkiv and other cities kill several civilians, force Kyiv to introduce emergency power cuts across the country
Russia fired dozens of missiles at infrastructure in Ukraine on Friday, forcing emergency power shutdowns across the country amid freezing temperatures and killing and wounding people in their homes in the south, Ukrainian officials said.
Russia has rained missiles on Ukrainian energy infrastructure almost weekly since early October after a series of battlefield defeats. Moscow says it is part of its plan to disable Ukraine’s military, Kyiv says it is a war crime. Reuters was unable to immediately verify the latest battlefield accounts but recorded at least three explosions in the snow-covered capital Kyiv, with smoke billowing over part of the city. It was not clear if any missiles had got through air defences.Ukraine has managed to repair much of its power infrastructure to restore electricity and water supplies but each successive attack makes that task harder.
It could happen as soon as January, President Volodymyr Zelensky, General Valery Zaluzhniy and General Oleksandr Syrskiy were quoted as saying in interviews with The Economist magazine.
