Zaporizhzhia in Darkness: Russia's Relentless Strikes Leave Thousands Powerless

In a stark escalation of hostilities, Russia's overnight assault on Zaporizhzhia has plunged nearly 60,000 residents into darkness. The onslaught, involving missile and drone strikes, demolished infrastructure and injured two individuals, according to regional governor Ivan Fedorov.

With winter looming, Russia has intensified its attacks, targeting Ukraine's energy generation and distribution infrastructure to incite outages. The unrelenting strikes have placed Kyiv's emergency crews in a constant race against time, repairing damages and managing power shortages.

Zaporizhzhia, already beleaguered by daily artillery barrages, has seen its utilities crippled and its homes devastated. As Russia intensifies its military tactics, the region's governor Fedorov reported 800 strikes on 18 settlements, resulting in additional casualties.
