Nationwide air alert: Russian air force strikes targets across Ukraine

Russia’s attacks are increasingly targeting Ukraine’s energy and water supplies. In Kyiv, people flee to the subway stations. In addition to the capital, the Sumy and Zaporizhia regions are also under fire. The Ukrainian authorities report two deaths.

Russia launched another massive missile attack on Ukraine. The authorities said that two people were killed in the southern region of Zaporizhia. Several houses were destroyed there. In the northern region of Sumy, the power went out after a rocket hit, as an energy supplier explained. The population was asked to go to shelters. According to the information, the air defense was also deployed in the capital Kyiv.

The Ukrainian news portal “The Kyiv Independent” also reported explosions from the regions of Kharkiv, Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk and Poltava. Air alert was sounded across Ukraine.

According to the ntv reporter Denis Trubetskoy, the energy infrastructure in several areas is again the target of the Russian attacks. Regions like Kryvyi Rih, Odessa and Zhytomyr have problems with the power supply. There were also blackouts in Moldova.

In Kyiv, people waited in the subway stations after the air raid alarm went off. Numerous photos and videos are circulating on social networks showing how people are looking for shelter in the subway stations.

Most recently, Russia had repeatedly attacked the energy and water supply in Ukraine with rockets after the Russian ground troops had to withdraw from some occupied areas. With winter approaching, Ukraine and the West have accused Russia of using the cold as a weapon of war.
