Abstract

Ukraine experienced a major power outage due to a missile and drone attack on its energy infrastructure, the largest attack of its kind since Russia's invasion in 2022. The attack disrupted electricity generation and transmission systems across the country, with certain regions deliberately limiting power supply to avoid overloading. Russia's defense ministry claimed responsibility for the attack, stating that it targeted energy facilities, military-industrial complexes, and locations with Ukrainian troops and foreign mercenaries. The attack resulted in casualties and damage to critical infrastructure, including power plants and railway hubs. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy called on foreign allies to provide military aid to protect citizens. [Extracted from the article]
