Ukraine Faces Renewed Assault on Energy Infrastructure Amid Widespread Air Strikes

Ukrainian authorities report a large-scale Russian attack on the nation's energy sector, resulting in emergency measures and widespread alarm.


Ukraine's Energy Minister has confirmed that Russia has launched a significant strike targeting the country's energy infrastructure, leading to emergency power outages and air raid warnings across multiple regions. Local officials report extensive damage and civilian impacts as the conflict intensifies.



Ukraine's Energy Minister, Herman Halushchenko, announced on social media that Russia has initiated a "massive strike" on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, with reports of explosions occurring in various cities throughout the country. Following the attacks, emergency power outages were implemented as a precautionary measure, with Halushchenko urging residents to seek shelter.

On Thursday, the Ukrainian air force issued a national air raid alert, citing an elevated risk of missile strikes. The air force noted that in the days leading up to these attacks, approximately 1,500 air strikes had been executed across Ukraine, affecting around half of the nation's regions. Detailed warnings were issued about incoming rockets targeting numerous areas, including major cities like Kyiv, Rivne, Vinnytsia, Kropyvnytskyi, Balta, and Mykolaiv.

In Kharkiv, the mayor Igor Terekhov reported shelling incidents in civilian neighborhoods, while Lutsk's mayor, Ihor Polishchuk, confirmed multiple explosions and electricity outages in parts of the city. Reports of explosions were also recorded in Odesa, a vital port city, with regional governor Oleg Kiper advising residents to seek safety. Additional attacks were reported in the Sumy and Volyn regions, compounding the hardships faced by the Ukrainian populace as the conflict escalates.
