In the Ukrainian capital Kyiv, several explosions were heard on Monday morning. The air was filled with smoke and debris after an air alarm was triggered, prompting Kiev Mayor Vitali Klitschko to instruct residents to go to shelters immediately. Russian combat drones had damaged power supplies in the Odessa and Mykolaiv regions of southern Ukraine, leading to a partial power outage in Odessa.
In the Mykolaiv region, a substation was damaged and caught fire due to a drone strike, injuring eleven people, two seriously. Meanwhile, in Russia, a fire broke out at a power plant in the Rostov region, with unofficial reports suggesting a Ukrainian drone attack. Ukraine has been defending itself against a large-scale Russian invasion for over two years, with recent drone attacks targeting the Russian oil industry.
The Ukrainian Air Force reported that two ballistic missiles were fired over Kiev using hypersonic missiles according to US Ambassador Bridget Brink. Debris from a rocket damaged a residential building in Kiev. The conflict continues to escalate as both sides engage in military actions to assert their power. The Russian army has been increasing air strikes against Ukraine’s energy supply, causing disruptions in cities like Charkiw. Local public transport with trams and trolleybuses in Odessa had to be stopped due to damage from drone strikes but no injuries were reported
