Ukrainian city in total blackout after 'massive' Russian assault
A "massive" Russian assault on energy infrastructure has left the Ukrainian city of Chernihiv in total blackout, impacting hundreds of thousands of residents. Ongoing attacks have targeted civilian infrastructure, including energy supplies, leading to casualties and disruptions to daily life. Residents are facing water supply issues, and restoring power is becoming increasingly challenging amid sustained bombardment. Ukrainian officials are seeking international support to bolster their energy sector and rebuild damaged infrastructure to mitigate the economic and psychological impact of the attacks.
