Russia's Missile Barrage Targets Ukraine's Energy Grid, Causing Blackouts

Russia launched a massive missile and drone attack on Ukraine, targeting energy infrastructure across the country, marking the largest assault since August. The attack involved over 120 missiles and 90 drones, with Ukrainian air defenses downing more than 140 targets. At least five people were killed, and significant power outages were reported, particularly in Odesa. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy condemned the strikes, which come as winter approaches, threatening to leave millions without power. The attack is seen as a response to recent diplomatic engagements with Russia, highlighting ongoing tensions.
