Latest 'massive' Russian aerial attack cuts power to 1 million homes in Ukraine
missiles and drones and leaving more than a million households without power, Ukrainian officials said.
Russia's second major aerial attack on Ukraine's power grid in less than two weeks amplified fears that the Kremlin aims to cripple the country's power generation capacity before winter.
«Attacks on energy facilities are happening all over Ukraine,» Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko said in a post on Facebook. He added that emergency power outages were implemented nationwide.
Russia in previous years has targeted Ukraine's electricity generation, aiming to deny civilians critical heating and drinking water supplies during the bitter winter months and break Ukrainian spirits. The attacks also seek to hobble Ukraine's defense industry that is now producing missiles, drones and armored vehicles, among other military assets.
In some regions on Thursday, Kalibr cruise missiles with cluster munitions smashed into civilian targets, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said, calling it «an insidious escalation.» Cluster munitions release numerous small bombs over a wide area, making them dangerous to civilians both during and after an attack.
