RUSSIA launched a massive missile and drone barrage targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure on Wednesday, striking a thermal power plant and prompting Ukrainians to take shelter in metro stations on Christmas morning.
The strikes on Ukrainian fuel and energy sources included 78 air, ground, and sea-launched missiles as well as 106 Shaheds and other types of drones, Ukraine's air force said. It claimed to have intercepted 59 missiles and 54 drones, with 52 more drones being jammed.
"(Russian President Vladimir) Putin deliberately chose Christmas for an attack. What could be more inhumane?," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on X. "They continue to fight for a blackout in Ukraine."
