Russia launches 'massive' missile attack on Ukraine's energy network
2024-11-28
[BBC] SUMMARY
  • Vladimir Putin says a Russian overnight missile and drone attack on Ukraine's power grid is a response to Ukraine's use of long-range US and UK weapons inside Russia

  • The Russian leader also threatens to target Kyiv's "decision-making centres" with Russia's new ballistic missile

  • The BBC's Sarah Rainsford says his claim of responding to the use of long-range Western weapons is deliberately misleading - the last big attack was before such weapons were deployed

  • Ukraine reports no fatalities after the attack, but more than a million Ukrainians have been left without power as 12 targets were struck

  • Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has described the attack as a "vile escalation"

  • This is the second attack on the country's energy system this month, writes the BBC's Paul Adams in Ukraine, with temperatures falling
