Russia has launched hundreds of aerial attacks at Ukraine's power facilities throughout the two-year war, causing significant damage and energy shortages as Ukraine's stretched air defenses struggle to repel the waves of drones and missiles.'The enemy launched 53 missiles of various types and 47 attack drones,' the air force said, adding that it shot down 35 of the missiles and all but one of the drones.
Ukraine's Energy Minister German Galushchenko said Russia had targeted sites in five regions — Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, Kirovograd, Ivano-Frankivsk and Zaporizhzhia — stretching from near the eastern frontlines to Ukraine's west, which borders the EU.The ministry warned that power restrictions were likely on Saturday evening as a result of the attacks.
