Russian Barrage Hits Ukraine in New Attack on Energy System.

Russia has launched a major missile and drone attack on Ukraine's critical infrastructure, with two-thirds of the missiles being shot down by air defense. The attack consisted of 53 missiles and 47 explosive-laden drones, targeting various energy facilities across Ukraine. While most of the drones were destroyed, 18 missiles were able to evade air defense. The attack caused damage to hydroelectric power plants and thermal electric power plants, as well as injuring 19 people. This is the sixth attack on power facilities in the past two and a half months. President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has called for additional air defense systems and the acceleration of F-16 fighter jet deliveries. [Extracted from the article]
