Overnight, Kyiv officials reported a substantial missile Launches by Russia on Ukraine, resulting in severe damage to four power plants. The shelling caused casualties, including two fatalities and at least ten wounded individuals.
In recent months, Moscow has escalated its attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, leading to disruptions in production and widespread blackouts. Meanwhile, Ukraine retaliated by launching over 60 drones at southern Russia, targeting oil refineries and a military airbase.
The attack primarily focused on energy infrastructure in regions such as Dnipropetrovsk, Ivano-Frankivsk, and Lviv, causing equipment damage. The timing of the assaults coincides with Russia’s upcoming nationwide celebrations on May 9, marking victory in World War II.
Following the strikes, the DTEK power operator reported severe damage to thermal power plants, prompting precautionary measures such as the disconnection of main power lines by state electricity operator Ukrenergo. Residents were urged to conserve energy, with restrictions on appliance usage.
The reported casualties in various regions serve as a grim reminder of the severity of the missile strikes conducted by Russia. These tragic incidents highlight the human toll of the conflict and the urgent need for de-escalation to prevent further loss of life and destruction.
In retaliation to the missile assault, Ukraine responded by launching a significant drone attack on Russia’s southern Krasnodar region. The targets included crucial facilities such as oil refineries and military installations, demonstrating Ukraine’s determination to defend itself and retaliate against aggression.
