Blackouts after Russian strikes deepen Ukraine’s concerns before winter

Kiev begins imposing restrictions on electricity due to extensive damage caused by Russia's more-than 300 air strikes on Ukrainian energy facilities since October 10th. Russian military commander for Ukraine operations says civilians should evacuate the Ukrainian city of Kherson as fast as possible because Ukrainian forces could begin an offensive at any moment. Russian missile strikes on Ukraine’s power network caused blackouts in many parts of the country on Monday, deepening fears of outages this winter and prompting Kyiv to halt electricity exports. Attacks that killed at least 11 civilians and wounded 64 left four regions temporarily without electricity, and supplies were disrupted in several other areas, the State Emergency Service said. Authorities in Kyiv asked civilians and businesses to limit energy use, and the energy ministry said it was halting electricity exports to the European grid after the biggest attack on the energy system since the war began in February. Long queues formed at petrol stations in some areas. “It is clear now that most of the missiles hit the power systems of different cities,” Kyrylo Tymoshenko, the deputy head of the presidential office, said on the Telegram messaging app. Follow us: https://www.facebook.com/H24-Nature-104152...
