Russia targets energy hubs in latest Ukrainian night assault
At night, Putin's army once again terrorized Ukraine. This time, the targets of Russian missiles and drones were Ukrainian energy infrastructure. Additionally, Russian long-range Tu-95 bombers were deployed. For several hours, an air raid alert was in effect across Ukraine.
Ukraine's Minister of Energy, Herman Halushchenko, reported that the main targets were energy and gas infrastructure in various parts of Ukraine.
The Russians used drones and Kalibr missiles in the raid. "Russia is trying to harm ordinary Ukrainians by shelling power plants and gas facilities, not giving up on their goal of leaving us without light and heat and causing as much damage as possible to ordinary citizens," Halushchenko emphasized.
Meanwhile, the authorities in Kharkiv reported that a "civilian infrastructure object" was hit in the city. Five people were injured.
"A woman was pulled from the rubble—she is alive and under medical care. The search and rescue operation continues. A fire broke out at the impact site. A nearby residential building was also damaged. All residents have been evacuated," Kharkiv's mayor wrote on Telegram.
Meanwhile, in the Ternopil region, a "critical industrial facility" was attacked. As a result, it was reported that "there may be restrictions in gas supply".
Russia attacks again. Restless night in Ukraine
The Ukrainian army reported missile launches from Russian ships in the Black Sea and the takeoff of a group of long-range Tu-95 bombers from Olenya airport in Russia's Murmansk region.
Moreover, warnings were issued about missiles flying towards the Vinnytsia, Khmelnitsky, Ternopil, Chernivtsi, and Ivano-Frankivsk regions. At the same time, Russian drones operated over Ukraine. A bomb alert was announced throughout the country.
