Russia launched its heaviest combined assault on Ukraine's energy infrastructure in months on Wednesday, killing seven people and triggering emergency power cuts in Kyiv and nearby regions.
The strikes targeted power and heating systems as winter approaches, prompting officials to warn of a difficult season ahead for residents facing potential prolonged outages.
The attack continues a pattern of Russian strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure throughout the conflict, which have repeatedly left millions without power, particularly during the colder months.
Ukrainian authorities said emergency repair efforts were underway, though full restoration timelines were not immediately available.
