Russia carried out a massive overnight and morning attack on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure using missiles and drones. Targets included facilities in the Ivano-Frankivsk, Khmelnytskyi, Kyiv, and Zaporizhzhia regions.

According to Ukrinform, Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko reported this on Telegram.

“Last night, Russia once again launched a massive missile and drone attack against the people of Ukraine — targeting our energy facilities and other civilian areas. Many were injured, including children. The strikes hit the Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv, Khmelnytskyi, Kyiv, and Zaporizhzhia regions,” Svyrydenko wrote.

In Boryspil, residential buildings were damaged, cars were burned, and one person was injured.

In Zaporizhzhia, the enemy struck a dormitory and infrastructure facilities. Eleven people were injured, including six children aged between three and six.

“Russia continues its systematic terror, striking at the lives, dignity, and warmth of Ukrainians on the eve of winter. Its goal is to plunge Ukraine into darkness. Ours is to preserve the light,” Svyrydenko emphasized.

She noted that stopping the terror requires more air defense systems, tougher sanctions, and maximum pressure on the aggressor.
