On the evening of Oct. 13, Russia launched another ballistic missile attack on Kyiv. Ukraine received no advance warning from its partners about the missile launches, and the missiles were detected only as they approached the capital, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.

Overnight, Russian forces launched a massive attack on Ukraine using 39 missiles of various types that follow ballistic trajectories and 128 drones. Ukrainian air defenses intercepted four missiles and neutralized 90% of the drones.

Powerful explosions were heard across Kyiv, and energy company DTEK reported emergency power outages in five districts.

According to Zelenskyy, Russia struck 26 components of Ukraine's electricity infrastructure and four oil and gas facilities overnight, leaving more than 600,000 Ukrainians without power.

Prime Minister Serhiy Koretskyi said Russia had struck all of Kyiv's combined heat and power plants, along with other energy infrastructure facilities.
