Russian missile strikes force emergency power shutdowns in Ukraine

Ukraine is switching to emergency shutdowns to stabilise its power grid after Monday's Russian missile attacks, President Volodymyr Zelensky has said.

He said many regions were affected, and the local authorities warned that about half of the Kyiv region would remain without electricity in the coming days.

Overnight, more missiles hit critical infrastructure and residential houses near the southern city of Zaporizhzhia, regional officials said.

No casualties were reported. Four people were killed in Monday's attacks.

The Russian defence ministry said it hit all 17 of its intended targets during its "massive strike using high-precision weapons".
