First snowfall amid power outages due to shelling
Russia launched a new wave of missile strikes on several regions of Ukraine on Thursday, which also recorded its first snowfall amid power outages due to shelling by Moscow forces.
In the city of Dnipro (Central-Eastern Ukraine), eight people were injured, including a 15-year-old teenager, Mayor Borys Filatov reported on Facebook. Two “infrastructures” were also hit in this city, he said, for his part, the Ukrainian presidency.
Near Kiev, local forces shot down two cruise missiles and suicide drones, according to the city’s military administration.
In the southern region of Odessa, the Russians struck electrical installations and injured three people, the regional administration said.
These attacks coincide with the first snowfall in Ukraine, which Kiev says is experiencing widespread blackouts due to Russian attacks specifically targeting energy infrastructure.
The national electricity company, Ukrenergo, announced the extension of cuts on Thursday due to the “worsening of the situation”.
In Kiev, covered in a light blanket of snow, many neighborhoods were without power. The regional governor, Oleksii Kouleba, warned on Wednesday that the week ahead would be “difficult”, with temperatures that could drop to “-10°C”.
