Ukraine's power supply close to critical as Russian strikes bring darkness and cold
For parents in parts of Ukraine, trying to lead a normal family life with just a few hours of power each day is taking its toll.
On Wednesday morning, Ukrainian forces targeted a Russian warship in the Gulf of Finland using drones, according to the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU). The Finnish government confirmed the attack to Yle, stating that the incident occurred near the Russian island of Gogland, situated approximately 40 kilometers south of Finland and 55 kilometers north of Estonia.
Estonian Defence Minister Martin Herem stated that an explosion took place on a Russian warship during the attack, after which the vessel departed for St. Petersburg. News agencies such as Ukrainska Pravda and the Kyiv Independent reported on the incident.
The SBU disclosed that it orchestrated and executed the operation as part of a special mission, as reported on Telegram. Exilenova+, a Telegram channel focused on the Ukraine war, cited an anonymous source claiming that members of the ship's crew could have been killed or injured. Following the attack, the Finnish Defence Forces implemented temporary limitations on maritime areas and airspace in the eastern Gulf of Finland as a precautionary measure, according to an early Wednesday report.
