“In retaliation to the Kiev regime’s attempts to damage Russia’s energy facilities, Russian troops delivered a combined strike by air-launched long-range precision weapons and unmanned aerial vehicles against Ukrainian energy sites providing for the production of armament and military hardware for the Ukrainian army,” the Russian defense ministry announced. “The goals of the strike were achieved. All the designated targets were struck.”

This new barrage of Russian missiles and drones reportedly caused “significant” damage to a thermal power plant, Ukraine officials said. “The attack on energy infrastructure in four regions damaged equipment, wounded seven workers and cut off electricity to more than 218,000 consumers,” the energy ministry said.
