Early Monday, Russian forces initiated a significant drone and missile assault on Ukraine, targeting various regions across the country, as reported by the Ukrainian air force.
The attack commenced around midnight and is currently ongoing, marking one of the most substantial offensives in recent weeks. The assault specifically aimed at the country's energy infrastructure, causing widespread concern.
Reports from the air force indicate the presence of multiple groups of Russian drones advancing towards eastern, northern, southern, and central areas of Ukraine. These drones were followed by a barrage of cruise and ballistic missiles, intensifying the scale of the attack.
Explosions were heard in the capital city of Kyiv, with officials confirming disruptions in the power supply in certain parts of the city. The impact of the assault on civilian areas and critical infrastructure is a matter of grave concern.
The situation remains fluid and evolving rapidly, with Ukrainian authorities closely monitoring the developments and assessing the extent of the damage caused by the ongoing attack.
