Massive strike on Ukraine
Russia launched nearly 300 drones, 18 ballistic, and 7 cruise missiles at Ukraine, focusing on energy infrastructure. Several regions were affected by the strikes, including Dnipropetrovsk and Kyiv. This marked another stage of escalation in the conflict, leading to significant human and material losses.
Among the consequences of this massive strike, 4 people died as a result of an attack on a postal terminal in Korotych, Kharkiv region. Also, several hundred thousand families in the Kyiv region were left without electricity. This situation has caused serious energy supply problems in the regions affected by the attacks.
Affected regions
Regions that were hit included:
- Dnipropetrovsk

The authorities are taking measures to improve the situation, including deploying Points of Invincibility, aimed at providing support for affected citizens.

This massive strike demonstrates the continuation of Russia's aggressive tactics aimed at destroying Ukraine's critical infrastructure.
In light of recent events, the importance of supporting the country's energy security becomes even more relevant.

The situation highlights the need for international support for Ukraine in its struggle against aggression and for restoring stability in the region.
