Russian drone attacks cause massive power cuts, Ukraine says

In a recent attack, Russian drone strikes have caused significant damage to Ukraine's energy infrastructure, leading to widespread power outages affecting over 100,000 homes, according to President Volodymyr Zelensky. The strikes targeted key energy facilities, disrupting the country's power supply. Zelensky condemned the attacks, describing them as an attempt to deprive Ukrainians of heat, light, and water as winter approaches. The Ukrainian government is working to restore power as quickly as possible, but the scale of the damage has posed challenges. Authorities have emphasized the need for continued international support and cooperation to address the energy crisis caused by the Russian aggression. The drone strikes are the latest in a series of attacks on Ukraine's critical infrastructure, which have been a key strategy employed by Russia in its ongoing invasion. The impact on the civilian population has been severe, underscoring the urgent need for a resolution to the conflict.
