Massive Russian drone and missile barrage hits Ukraine’s power grid

“As soon as it is safe, rescuers and energy crews will begin eliminating the consequences of the attack to restore electricity supply as quickly as possible,” the ministry said.

Emergency power cuts and planned rolling blackouts will remain in place until the situation in the power system stabilizes.

The enemy’s air assault began overnight with hundreds of attack drones launched from multiple locations across Russia, followed in the early morning hours by dozens of cruise missiles fired from Russian strategic aircraft.
