Russia Launches Devastating Missile Barrage on Kyiv, Inflicting Multiple Injuries and Raising Concerns of Energy Infrastructure Attacks

Russia has reportedly begun a major bombing campaign on Ukraine, targeting its energy infrastructure after months of stockpiling missiles and bombs. The UK Ministry of Defence believes that the recent cruise missile attack is the start of a more concerted campaign aimed at degrading Ukraine's energy network. Ukraine and its allies had anticipated such attacks, as Russia had used a similar tactic last winter, causing power outages and civilian casualties. While Ukraine's air defense intercepted most of the missiles, at least one Ukrainian civilian was killed in the recent strikes.
