Power outages in 6 regions, energy minister says, following missile and drone attacksPeople shelter in a subway station during an air raid alert on Friday in downtown Kyiv. The wave of attacks was the most significant in several days in Ukraine.Russian forces launched 71 cruise missiles, 35 S-300 missiles and seven Shahed drones since late Thursday, said Ukraine's military chief, Gen. Valerii Zaluzhnyi. Ukrainian forces downed 61 cruise missiles and five drones, he said.
The Kremlin's forces focused their bombardments on Ukraine's industrial east, especially the Luhansk and Donetsk provinces, the Ukrainian military said. Moscow-backed separatists have been fighting Ukrainian forces there since 2014. The bombardments could be an effort by Russia to soften up Ukraine's defences ahead of a ground assault, which Kyiv believes Moscow is planning in the east. There has been little change in battlefield positions for weeks.
