Russia attacks Ukrainian electrical power facilities, including major hydroelectric plant

According to various reports, there have been multiple attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure over the past few days, resulting in significant damage and widespread power outages. The attacks involved both missiles and drones, with estimates suggesting that at least 150 missiles and drones were launched in total. These attacks left more than a million households without electricity and killed several people. The attacks came after Ukraine's pro-Kyiv militias staged armed raids into Russian territory, prompting Russia to retaliate. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy described these attacks as the largest on Ukraine's energy infrastructure since the war began. Some reports suggest that Russia targeted specific power plants and nuclear facilities in these attacks. Russia has justified these attacks as an attempt to cripple Ukraine's electricity and heating network. Ukrainian engineers have managed to repair some of the damaged infrastructure, but the situation remains volatile.
