Russia said the barrage of 81 missiles aimed to hit Ukrainian military and industrial targets and their energy facilities, in retaliation for an incursion into western Russia by “Ukrainian saboteurs.” Russia unleashes 'massive rocket attack' on Ukraine:
that hit residential buildings and critical infrastructure across Ukraine on Thursday, killing six people and leaving hundreds of thousands without heat or electricity.
Overall, Russia launched 81 missiles and eight exploding Iranian-made Shahed drones Thursday, according to Ukraine’s chief commander of the armed forces, Valerii Zaluzhnyi. Thirty-four missiles were intercepted, as were four drones, he said. The mixture of munitions makes it harder for air defenses to cope with the onslaught, military analysts say.
Around 150,000 households were left without power in Ukraine’s northwestern Zhytomyr region. In the southern port of Odesa, emergency blackouts occurred due to damaged power lines. “What are we doing to prevent this happening? We are the IAEA, we are meant to care about nuclear safety,” Director-General Rafael Mariano Grossi told its board of directors in a meeting Thursday, according to a statement from the organization.
