Russia unleashed a massive drone and missile barrage throughout Ukraine this morning that appeared to target energy infrastructure.

The massive missile and drone attack targeted multiple Ukrainian cities, including Kyiv, causing power outages and explosions.

Media reports said, at least three people were killed in the explosion. Mayor of Kyiv, Vitali Klitschko, first said several districts in the capital were without power.

The governors of the southern regions of Odesa and Zaporizhzhia, as well as the governor of the northern region of Kharkiv, urged people to take shelter.

Meanwhile, as many as five people were killed and 13 others were wounded during an overnight Ukrainian strike on Russia’s Belgorod.

Kyiv has increased its strikes inside Russia after a ground offensive in the Kursk region. A hotel in Kramatorsk was hit, injuring journalists. Casualties were reported on both sides.
