Ukrainian city in total blackout after 'massive' Russian assault

The Ukrainian city of Kherson has been plunged into a total blackout following a "massive" Russian assault, according to reports. The attack has left the city without power, water, or heating, exacerbating the already dire conditions faced by the local population. Beyond Kherson, the wider region has also been affected, with four people reported to have been killed and 10 others injured in the assault. The scale and intensity of the Russian bombardment have caused significant damage and disruption to the region's infrastructure, leaving residents without access to essential services. The situation in Kherson and the surrounding areas remains critical, with authorities working to restore power and other vital utilities. The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues to take a heavy toll on the civilian population, underscoring the urgent need for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
