Russia Launches Massive Strikes Across Ukraine Targeting Infrastructure

• AntiWar.com

Russia on Monday launched one of its largest barrages of missile strikes in Ukraine in its first major coordinated attack on Ukrainian energy and communication infrastructure across the country, marking a significant escalation of the war.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the missile strikes targeted the "energy, military command and communications facilities of Ukraine." The missile barrage came after the truck bombing of the Kerch Bridge, which connects the Russian mainland to Crimea.

A day earlier, Putin called the Kerch Bridge bombing a Ukrainian "terror act" and Ukrainian sources confirmed to US media that Kyiv was responsible.

Monday's strikes targeted nearly every region of Ukraine, including the capital Kyiv, where missiles hit the city's center. Other major cities that were targeted include Kharkiv, Dnipro, Lviv, and Odessa.

Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmygal said 11 key infrastructure facilities were damaged in eight separate regions including Kyiv, leaving parts of the country with no electricity, heat, water, or internet. So far, Ukrainian authorities have reported 11 people killed in the missile strikes.
