Russia blitzed energy infrastructure in Ukraine during an expansive missile and drone attack overnight Friday that killed at least five people and left more than a million without power, authorities said.
The aerial assault involving more than 60 exploding drones and 90 missiles caused widespread outages in Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, while also plunging the central Dnipropetrovsk and western Ivano-Frankivsk regions into darkness
“Russian terror is only possible now because we don’t have enough modern air defense systems, which to be honest, require enough political will to provide them,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said during his nightly video address, posted on X.
The onslaught, which also pounded Ukraine’s largest dam, killed at least five people and injured at least 31, Zelensky said.
