Major explosions rocked central Kyiv, the Ukrainian capital, as air raid sirens sounded, while Russia’s Defense Ministry announced that it had targeted electrical substations and a cargo ship in other parts of Ukraine during overnight attacks.
It remained unclear whether the explosions were caused by direct hits or by the activity of Ukrainian air defenses.
Later, Russia’s Defense Ministry announced that its forces had carried out drone strikes on energy facilities that it said supply power to Ukrainian military-industrial enterprises, as well as on ships transporting military equipment and dual-use cargo for Ukrainian forces.
The ministry said the strikes targeted a 330-kilovolt electrical substation in the city of Kryvyi Rih in the Dnipropetrovsk region, and two substations with capacities of 110 and 330 kilovolts in the towns of Mayaky and Usatove in the Odesa region.
