Ongoing Assaults Escalate Energy Crisis in Ukraine

Russian drones attacked Kyiv, injuring four and damaging multiple buildings, as missile and drone strikes across Ukraine killed six, causing power outages. The assaults are perceived as targeting Ukraine's energy system with winter approaching. Ukrainian and US officials coordinate efforts for equipment and support to endure the crisis.

Russian drones attacked the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv for a consecutive night, injuring four individuals and inflicting damage on several buildings, including a kindergarten. Authorities have cautioned residents regarding possible missile strikes following the attack.

In nationwide assaults involving missiles and drones, six people, including children, were killed, leading to widespread power outages. The attacks are interpreted as efforts to debilitate Ukraine's energy infrastructure as winter looms.

Ukraine's Energy Minister, Svitlana Hrynchuk, emphasized the systematic nature of these attacks. She communicated with the US Energy Secretary about their aftermath and the urgent need for further equipment. The US has pledged support to aid Ukraine through winter.
