KYIV, Ukraine ( AP ) – Russia launched a barrage of missiles against Ukraine overnight, in attacks that appeared to target the country’s energy infrastructure. Russia claimed that its air defense systems had intercepted more than 60 Ukrainian drones over the southwestern Krasnodar area.
Ukraine’s air pressure said Saturday that Russia had launched 34 rockets against Ukraine immediately, of which 21 had been shot down by Russian weather threats.
Energy Minister Herman Halushenko stated in a blog on Telegram that an engineer was hurt and that energy infrastructure in Dnipropetrovsk in the north of the nation and Ivano-Frankivsk and Lviv in the west had been attacked.
Without going into specifics, private energy company DTEK claimed that four of its thermal power plants had been damaged and that there were” casualties” there.
Russia launched a massive missile and drone strike against Ukraine’s largest energy flowers earlier this month, destroying one of the country’s largest power plants and injuring another.
Ukraine has urged its Western friends to build more air defense systems to thwart such problems. U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced at a conference of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group on Friday that the U.S. would supply Ukraine with more ammunition and equipment for its air defense missiles.
