The strikes targeted all three of Kyiv’s municipal combined heat and power (CHP) plants, according to the Kyiv Post (Ukraine), with Prime Minister Serhiy Koretskyi reporting on Wednesday.
Zelenskyy also noted that Russia launched 27 ballistic missiles, only one of which was intercepted due to a lack of interceptors for the Patriot system.
The strikes were described as one of the most “vile” by Zelenskyy, with casualties including children and damage to industrial facilities and energy infrastructure.
The UN aid coordination office (OCHA) reported that Russian attacks on Ukraine’s two largest cities have again killed and injured civilians, damaged homes, and civilian infrastructure.
