"Russia's Unprecedented Air Strikes Paralyze Ukraine's Energy System"

Russia launched a massive missile and drone attack on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, leaving over 1 million households without electricity in at least 10 regions. The attack targeted power supplies in multiple towns and cities, including Kharkiv, Odesa, and Kryvyi Rih. The strikes caused significant damage to Ukraine's largest hydroelectric power complex and coal mines, resulting in three deaths and several injuries. Ukrainian President Zelensky called for more support from allies, particularly US-made Patriot air defense systems, as the conflict escalates.
