Energy infrastructure hit in east and south of Ukraine, minister says

BY A STAFF REPORTER: Energy facilities in the east and south of Ukraine have been damaged following Russian missile attacks Friday, Ukrainian Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko said. “Another wave of massive Russian shelling of energy infrastructure. The shelling is continuing," he wrote on Telegram. There will be emergency power outages in some parts of the country, he added. Parts of Ukraine are without power on Friday following the Russian strikes, including the cities of Kharkiv and Poltava. Russia has waged a series of missile and drone attacks against Ukraine since October that have damaged the energy system and civilian infrastructure, causing power outages in the freezing winter.
