Kyiv, Ukraine — Russia unleashed a massive drone and missile barrage across Ukraine on Monday targeting energy infrastructure, reportedly killing at least three people and hitting power facilities in at least three regions. Officials in the Zaporizhzhia, Rivne and Lviv regions said in messages posted on social media that energy infrastructure had come under attack. Officials in several other regions also reported strikes on power and other critical infrastructure sites.
The barrage began around midnight and continued beyond daybreak in what appeared to be Russia's biggest attack on Ukraine in weeks.
"The energy infrastructure has once again become the target of Russian terrorists. Unfortunately, there is damage in a number of regions," Ukraine's Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal Shmyhal said, adding that Ukraine's state-owned power grid operator, Ukrenergo, had been forced to implement emergency power cuts to stabilize the system.
