Ukraine has suffered a new massive attack from Russia, targeting energy infrastructure, which has led to the death of a woman and power outages in various regions. The Russian army is intensifying bombings on gas and electricity facilities, as temperatures drop, foreshadowing a harsh winter for civilians. Energy Minister Svitlana Grinchuk announced that emergency power outages have been instituted. Drone and missile attacks have been reported in cities like Dnipro, where a multi-story building was destroyed, injuring several people, including children. In Kyiv, debris from airstrikes caused fires. According to the Kyiv School of Economics, Ukraine is facing a severe energy crisis, with a large part of the electricity demand unmet. Ukrainians are retaliating by attacking Russian energy infrastructure, trying to disrupt oil exports and funding for Russia's war effort.
