Ukraine placed on red alert as Putin’s overnight ‘terror’ strikes on power grid leaves ONE MILLION people in darkness

A red alert has been issued for Ukraine, with one million people plunged into darkness and residents seeking safety in bomb shelters.

It happened as Russia used cruise missiles and kamikaze drones to launch a second “massive” strike on the nation’s energy infrastructure.

According to the administration, the midnight bombardment left nearly a million people without electricity nationwide.

Large areas were pushed into emergency power cuts, and officials around Ukraine reported explosions.

Ukrainian Energy Minister German Galushchenko posted on Facebook, “The enemy’s massive strike targets energy infrastructure once again.”

Beleaguered Russia’s “continuing their tactics of terror” was demonstrated by the incident, according to the chief of staff for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Tyrant Vladimir Putin acknowledged the attack and said that Ukraine was the target of his forces since last week they had attacked deep within his territory using Western long-range missiles.

He said the “comprehensive strike” on Ukrainian territory included 17 military targets.

According to Bridget Brink, the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, she awoke in Kyiv on Thanksgiving morning to “see the whole country is red from the threat of missiles.”

Her X post featured a stark map of Ukraine with all of the country’s regions under Russian invasion highlighted in red.

Numerous strikes by Russia have already targeted the nation’s energy infrastructure, rendering vital systems inoperable during the harsh winter months.

The UN cautioned that this winter may be the “harshest since the start of the war” due to Russian attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure.

According to reports, explosions occurred in the capital Kyiv, as well as in Kharkiv, Odesa, Lutsk, Mykolaiv, and Rivne.

Strikes were also reported by local officials in Vinnytsia, Lviv, and Sumy.

According to the local water supply corporation, 260,000 residents in Zhytomyr were left without running water.

In the meantime, there was still no electricity in Kherson’s main region.

Zelensky spoke with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Russia’s “aerial terror” following the strike.

“More than 90 missiles and almost 100 drones” were employed by Putin’s soldiers, Zelensky’s office said.

According to Oleh Syniehubov, the governor of Kharkiv, a rocket strike on the city caused damage to a business and a portion of an apartment complex.

According to officials, infrastructure was also the target of another missile attack on the northeastern Sumy region.

Amid the nationwide attack, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko announced Thursday morning that air defense systems had been activated.

Residents have previously received warnings from Ukraine’s air force about a missile threat to the city.

In addition to drones, Russia launched Kh-101 and Kh-55 missiles, Iskander-M ballistic missiles, Kalibr cruise missiles, and Kh-59 and Kh-69 guided missiles.

After a week in which tensions in the region skyrocketed, Russia launched its most recent assault.

Chilling video shows warheads falling from the sky after Putin’s forces fired a “Oreshnik” ballistic missile at the Ukrainian city of Dnipro last Thursday.

He said that the attack was retaliation for Ukraine’s previous week’s launch of long-range western missiles into Russia.

Overnight on November 11, Kyiv launched US ATACMS missiles and, two days later, British Storm Shadow rockets into Putin’s land.

Putin quickly declared that military sites in the US and the UK were also at the top of his list of targets.
