The Ukrainian energy minister says Russia has launched a massive aerial attack against Ukraine, forcing the country to introduce preventive power cuts

Russia fires dozens of missiles at Ukrainian energy sites, forcing authorities to introduce preventive power cuts.

Russia on Wednesday launched a major ballistic and cruise missile attack on regions across Ukraine, targeting energy production and compelling authorities to shut down the power grid in some areas despite freezing winter weather,

Ukraine fired six US-made ATACMS ballistic missiles, six British Storm Shadow cruise missiles and at least 146 drones into Russia in a mass attack, says Moscow. It threatened retaliation against the air strikes.

Russia’s Defense Ministry said it destroyed two Ukrainian drones over the Belgorod area and another drone over the Tambov region. Belgorod Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said on Telegram that Ukrainian attacks injured one person, while Tambov Governor Yevgeny Pervyshov reported damage to a house.

Ukraine used six British Storm Shadow missiles and US-made Atacms tactical ballistic missiles in what Kyiv described as its “largest attack” on Russian military facilities.

Authorities in western Ukraine said early Wednesday that critical infrastructure was targeted in a Russian missile attack after air alerts sounded across the country. The airstrikes came a day after Ukraine said it had carried out its largest aerial attack on Russian territory since Moscow's February 2022 invasion,

The enemy attacked the energy infrastructure of our region and Ukraine. Emergency blackouts have been introduced in six oblasts, but Lviv is not among them yet,” he wrote, confirming earlier reports that enemy cruise missiles had been seen flying toward western Ukraine.
