'Massive' Russian Missile, Drone Attack Targets Critical Ukrainian Infrastructure.

Officials in Ukraine said on May 8 that a major overnight attack by Russia targeted critical infrastructure in at least six regions with more than 50 missiles and 20 drones, as multiple waves of air alerts rang out for hours in areas including the capital, Kyiv.

They reported destruction and damage to some facilities but there were no initial reports of casualties.
Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko called it "another massive attack on our energy industry" that spanned six regions.
He said power-generation and transmission facilities had been attacked in the Poltava, Kirovohrad, Zaporizhzhya, Lviv, Ivano-Frankiivsk, and Vinnytsia regions. The military administration head in the central Poltava district, Filip Pronin, said a fire had broken out after a drone strike on a power infrastructure facility.
The head of the military administration in the southern Zaporizhzhya region that hosts Europe's largest nuclear plant said the Russian bombardment there targeted "critical and civil infrastructure facilities."
In Lviv, in western Ukraine, the governor said a Russian strike had hit critical energy infrastructure in the Stryhi district and a power-generation plant in the Chervonohrad district. President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said via Telegram that the Russian attacks had employed at least 50 missiles and 20 drones.
He noted that they took place early on the Day of Remembrance and Reconciliation that the United Nations declared to honor those who lost their lives in World War II. "The whole world must clearly understand who is who," Zelenskiy wrote, before equating Russian aggression against his country to Nazi Germany's actions to spark that war. Russia has frequently targeted power and energy infrastructure with air attacks since it launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. An attack in March marked one of the most intense of those bombardments since the war began, including a strike on Ukraine's largest hydroelectric power plant, DniproHEP in Zaporizhzhya that did serious damage.
