Russia launches largest barrage of air assaults on Ukraine yet

Russia has launched more than 100 missiles and around 100 attack drones at Ukraine, killing at least seven people and striking energy facilities nationwide, officials say.

Power cuts and water supply outages were reported in numerous places, including parts of Kyiv, as officials said the attack — two-and-a-half years into Russia's full-scale invasion — targeted power or other critical infrastructure in at least 10 regions.

Russia dramatically stepped up its strikes on the Ukrainian power grid in March in what Kyiv has said looks like a concerted effort to degrade the system ahead of winter when people need electricity and heating most.
