Russia launches year's most concentrated barrage on Ukraine, officials and media say

Nearly 300 drones and missiles struck Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, causing outages for several hundred thousand households, amid ongoing efforts to degrade winter heating and water supplies.

  • In a large overnight barrage, Russia launched nearly 300 drones, 18 ballistic missiles, and seven cruise missiles at Ukraine, targeting the power grid.
  • Ukrainian officials say Russia is `weaponizing winter` by targeting utilities to deny heat and running water since the war began on Feb. 24, 2022, intensifying with a hypersonic missile strike four days earlier.
  • Local officials reported one strike in the Kharkiv region killed four people at a mail depot, wounded 10 in Kharkiv, damaged energy infrastructure, and left several hundred thousand households without power in the Kyiv region.
  • President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged quicker deliveries of agreed U.S. and European air-defense systems and new aid pledges, while the United States called the strikes a `dangerous and inexplicable escalation`.
  • Russia's Ministry of Defense reported its air defenses shot down 11 Ukrainian drones overnight, while Ukraine said domestically-produced drones hit the Atlant Aero plant in Taganrog, amid-12 C temperatures and widespread generator use.
