Russia unleashes biggest mass attack on Ukraine's energy this year

Russia has launched its biggest mass attack on Ukraine's energy facilities this year, hitting substations, transmission systems and power plants across 10 regions on November 3 and cutting power to households across the country. Ukraine's grid operator Ukrenergo said energy sites were struck more than 20 times in a day, using an unprecedented number of weapons, while the country's largest private energy firm, DTEK, said three of its thermal power plants stopped generating after what it called one of the most serious attacks ever on its facilities. Emergency power cuts were imposed in Kyiv and several regions, and Kyiv also reported water supply disruptions. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia launched 289 drones, 17 ballistic missiles and 59 cruise missiles overnight, mostly at energy infrastructure, and said a hospital in Kharkiv was also struck, injuring 73 people. Ukraine is bracing for another difficult winter after millions lost heating and power in the cold last winter.
