Russian forces launched one of their largest attacks on Ukraine, firing 70 missiles and drones. President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said energy infrastructure was a key target, with the strikes killing at least 11 people across the country.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said Russia launched missiles and drones on 7 October, with energy infrastructure among its targets, Reuters reported. He put the death toll at at least 11 and the missile count at 70. Those figures remain attributed to Ukraine’s president. The report identifies a new attack; it does not quantify generating capacity lost, restoration times or cross-border energy effects. Further operational information is needed to assess the economic impact.
