Moscow launched more than 80 missiles on kyiv, Ternopil, Dnipro, Lviv or Kharkov. At least 19 people died and 105 were injured, according to the latest balance of the State Service for Emergency Situations. As a result of the bombing, 30 fires were also recorded. It is feared that Russia will continue to bombard the electricity grid infrastructure.
The night was pretty quiet until a new air raid siren will start to sound again in the center of kyiv this Tuesday morning. This means that Flying objects have been registered in the airspace of the city.
The day before it was precisely around the same time 8:10 (local time) that the first bombings took place. There is a lot of anxiety in the city. While the authorities have asked the inhabitants of the capital to stay in the shelters, an Iranian drone of the Shahed-136 type has already attacked a power plant in Vinnytsia, in the central west of the country.
Objective: neutralize the electrical network before winter
There is a growing feeling among Ukrainians that, beyond Vladimir Putin’s intention to retaliate by bombing last Saturday’s explosion at the Crimean bridge, the goal of the Russian president is to hit the power grid. The strategy of the Russian General Staff would be that: neutralize the electrical system before temperatures begin to approach freezing at night.
This Monday at least Two power stations near the center of kyiv were hit by cruise missiles, cutting off electricity for hours. Russia has already declared that it will continue with the attacks. In kyiv, this type of bombardment with damaged infrastructure is expected to continue in the coming days or weeks.
In the meantime, the Russian army riddled the city of Zaporizhia again where several residential neighborhoods were bombed.
“The occupier attacked the regional center with rockets. The infrastructure objects have become the targets of the enemy. Information about the destruction and the victims is being collected,” the leader of the Zaporizhia region, Alexander Starukh, detailed in his Telegram. .
For its part, France accused Russia of committing “war crimes” in Ukraine and of carrying out “indiscriminate attacks”, as denounced by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Catherine Colonna.
