Blackouts in Ukraine After Russia’s Strikes

Written by Nachaida Yuguda

Air raid sirens have gone off again across Ukraine, a day after Russia launched some of the worst attacks there for month.

The mayor of the western city of Lviv says critical infrastructure has again been hit by Russian strikes this morning, causing power blackouts

People across the country have been advised to stay in shelters, and not to ignore air raid sirens

The southern city of Zaporizhzhia was shelled again overnight, with one dead and buildings damaged, the regional governor says

The United States and other G7 industrialised countries are due to hold a virtual meeting later to discuss their response to the attack

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Monday’s strikes were retaliation for Saturday’s attack on a key bridge linking Russia with occupied Crimea.
