“Missili, uno dopo l’altro” – Blackout a Kiev mentre la Russia colpisce ancora una volta le infrastrutture energetiche dell’Ucraina.

From the article: Russia launched a large-scale drone and missile attack on Ukraine overnight on Oct. 10, killing a child and injuring at least 24 people in the country while leaving a part of Kyiv without electricity and water.

At least twelve people were injured in the capital, while a 7-year-old boy was killed and seven people were injured in the southern city of Zaporizhzhia. Five civilians were wounded in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.

Multiple regions introduced emergency power shutdowns amid strikes on the energy grid.

The attacks come amid Russia’s intensifying aerial campaign targeting Ukraine’s energy infrastructure ahead of the winter months.

Loud explosions and ballistic missiles were reported by Kyiv Independent journalists on the ground at approximately 2:30 a.m. local time as Russia carried out an attack on the Ukrainian capital. Additional explosions were reported at about 3:30 a.m.

“From the explosions that just occurred — a ballistic missile attack is ongoing. Missiles, one after another, air defense is active,” Kyiv City Military Administration head Tymur Tkachenko said at 2:41 a.m., confirming reports of ballistic missiles.

Explosions and the sound of air defense systems operating were earlier reported by a journalist on the ground at about 1 a.m. local time.

Earlier in the night, at around 11:44 p.m. local time, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported on Telegram that Ukrainian air defense forces were actively countering the incoming drones.

Russia launched 465 Shahed-type attack drones and decoy drones, as well as 32 cruise and ballistic missiles, against Ukraine overnight, the Air Force reported.

Ukrainian air defenses reportedly intercepted 405 Russian drones and 15 missiles. Russia deployed the Iskander-M or KN-23 ballistic missiles, the Iskander-K cruise missiles, the Kh-59/69 aerial missiles, and the hypersonic Kinzhal missiles in the attack.

Moscow was “targeting everything that sustains normal life, everything the Russians want to deprive us of,” President Volodymyr Zelensky said.

Eight out of the 12 people injured in the capital have been hospitalized, Klitschko reported.

“In Kyiv, due to strikes on critical infrastructure, there are power outages,” he added as Russia targeted the Ukrainian capital’s critical infrastructure.

A Kyiv Independent journalist in the city was left without water and power amid the strikes on the capital.

The part of the city east of the Dnipro River was left without electricity, and there are issues with Kyiv’s water supply, Klitschko reported at 3:34 a.m.

Local authorities also reported disruptions to public transportation, including the metro, due to the outages.

In the Pecherskyi district, emergency services extinguished a fire in a burning residential building caused by falling drone debris, Klitschko said, adding that several floors had caught fire before the blaze was brought under control.

RUSSIA CAN’T WIN AND THEY KNOW IT!

ON TO VICTORY!
