Since the beginning of October, this is already the sixth massive attack on the country’s energy infrastructure, this time the biggest one – a hundred missiles. Each missile was flown with the aim of plunging Ukraine into darkness,” said Kudrytsky.

He also urged Ukrainians to stock up on water, charge batteries and cell phones.
Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmygal noticedthat the invaders mainly affect high-voltage substations and thermal power plants, in connection with which emergency shutdown programs are provided in the central and eastern regions, and special emergency shutdown programs are used in Kiev. De-excitation is observed in almost all regions.
Interior Minister Denis Monastrsky said on the air of the national telethon that as a result of the rocket attack one person was killed, 6 were injured and more than 30 objects were damaged.
