Russia attacks Ukraine energy facilities, killing 7 people

Russia launched a barrage of drones and missiles in overnight attacks on Ukraine, killing seven people and damaging large energy infrastructure facilities in three regions, Ukrainian officials said on Saturday. State-owned energy company Tsentrenergo said the attacks were the largest on its facilities since the start of the war in February 2022, and that it had halted operations at its plants in the Kyiv and Kharkiv regions. In the Poltava region, two cities - Kremenchuk with a population of about 200,000 people and Horishni Plavni with 50,000 - lost most of their electricity and were using generators to provide water, city officials said.
