Ukraine hit by mass Russian attack driving widespread outages and cold
Russia launched a mass overnight strike on Kyiv and Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, with hundreds of weapons including missiles and drones, plunging cities into outages and leaving about 80% of the country facing emergency, unscheduled power cuts as heating fails in freezing temperatures; in Kyiv, one person was killed and four were injured, and officials reported thousands of buildings without heating as the grid comes under strain.
