Massive Russian Strikes Plunge Over a Million Ukrainian Homes into Darkness

Over a million Ukrainian households lost power following a major Russian aerial attack on energy infrastructure, marking the 11th such assault this year. The attack, involving around 100 drones and over 90 missiles, led to emergency power cuts and injuries in several regions. Russian President Putin stated the bombardment was a response to Ukrainian strikes on Russian territory. Ukrainian President Zelensky emphasized the need for enhanced air defense systems. The ongoing conflict has intensified as Ukraine faces its third winter of war.
