Ukraine-Krieg: Massive Angriffe: Hunderttausende in der Ukraine ohne Strom

In the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, massive attacks continued in the night, claiming lives and leaving hundreds of thousands without power. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reported that the assault resulted in deaths and injuries, with at least 600,000 households now without electricity. Russia launched 39 ballistic missiles and over 102 drones at Ukraine's energy infrastructure and critical facilities, as Zelensky detailed on social media.

Significant damage was reported at 26 power supply facilities and four oil and gas objects. Zelensky accused Moscow of ignoring US President Donald Trump's call for a ceasefire against energy targets and called for harsh sanctions on Russia, requesting additional Patriot anti-missile systems. The death toll in Kyiv rose to five after previous attacks, while two more died and six were injured in Dnipropetrovsk.

Russia claimed it had shot down over 900 Ukrainian drones and 902 others in the occupied Crimea. Local Moscow mayor Sergey Sobyanin reported 493 Ukrainian drones that approached Moscow, with 180 intercepted before reaching the capital. Several airports in Russia faced flight restrictions due to Ukrainian drone attacks, affecting the four main city airports.

One person died in Balakowo due to a Ukrainian drone strike, according to Saratov Governor Roman Bussargin. The Sberbank, Russia's largest financial institution, confirmed that its data processing center was targeted, but all systems remained operational. Russia has been waging a destructive war against Ukraine for over four and a half years, with its defense forces targeting Ukrainian territory and annexed Crimea.
