Russian missile attack forces Ukraine to shut down power grid
Wednesday, 15 January 2025 () Ukrainian officials say Russia has launched a major ballistic and cruise missile attack on regions across Ukraine. The strikes on Wednesday targeted energy production and compelled authorities to shut down the power grid in some areas despite freezing winter weather. The barrage came a day after the Russian Defense Ministry vowed a response to what it said was an attack on Russian soil using multiple Western-supplied missiles. Long-range attacks have been a feature of the nearly three-year war. Russia has been advancing on the battlefield over the past year, though its progress has been slow and costly.
