Vladimir Putin’s military unleashed a huge overnight attack on Ukraine with nearly 90 missiles and 60 drones, Volodymyr Zelensky said on Friday.
The Ukrainian president stressed: “The world sees the targets of Russian terrorists as clearly as possible: power plants and energy supply lines, a hydroelectric dam, ordinary residential buildings, even a trolleybus.”
Ukraine’s state hydropower company said a Russian strike hit Ukraine’s largest dam, the DniproHES in Zaporizhzhia, but that there was no risk of a breach, while power infrastructure in other regions was also hit, officials said.
“There is currently a fire at the station. Emergency services and energy workers are working on the spot, dealing with the consequences of numerous airstrikes,” said Ukrhydroenerho, which runs Ukraine’s network of dams.
