After securing combat tanks, Ukraine wakes up to devastating attacks

During the wave of missile and drone attacks that Russia launched against Ukraine, at least one person was reported dead in Kyiv.

A day after Kiev obtained the combat tanks it had long requested from Germany and the United States, a development Russia warned was a "dangerous" escalation, came Thursday's rush-hour attack.

The 55-year-old man was murdered by a rocket, the first fatality from an attack in the city since New Year's Eve, according to Vitali Klitschko, the mayor of Kyiv. Two other persons were injured.

People gathered in train terminals as air raid sirens sounded all across the nation.

Up to six Tu-95 fighter jets, according to a representative of the Ukrainian air force, took out from Murmansk in northern Russia's Arctic area and fired long-range missiles.

Authorities in Kiev said that their air defenses had shot down more than 15 Russian missiles that had been fired at the city, but they warned citizens to seek shelter because of the possibility of further strikes.

In Vinnytsia's center region, strikes were also reportedly reported.

All 24 Russian drones produced in Iran that were sent overnight, according to the Ukrainian military, were shot down by anti-aircraft defenses.

According to local officials, 20 missiles that were en route to the capital were intercepted, Natacha Butler reported from Kyiv.

Butler reported, "We heard a pretty loud explosion. "Now that we are aware, a non-residential facility was struck by a rocket. It might have been some crucial infrastructure, in our opinion.

Maksym Marchenko, the governor of Odesa, claimed that a number of energy infrastructure had been damaged, resulting in "serious problems" with the delivery of electricity.

Due to the threat of missile attacks, DTEK, the largest private energy producer in Ukraine, announced that it would be implementing emergency power outages in Kyiv, the surrounding area, and the regions of Odesa and Dnipropetrovsk.

Other power producers in Ukraine claimed to be carrying out emergency shutdowns as well.
