Ukraine's attacks in Russia, fears hit thermal power plants, refinerys

Ukraine has carried out one of its biggest attacks ever in Russia, with video showing a series of explosions and fires in thermals and refinerys, including Moscow, reports The Guardian.

The Russian defence ministry downplayed the attacks overnight. She said she caught and destroyed 158 aircraft without a pilot. These were dropped over 15 regions, according to Russian claims.

Ukrainian attacks came after Russia claimed further victories in the eastern region of Donbas, where its forces have made a slow and serious advance in recent weeks.

Published images show that some of the long-range Ukrainian fears hit their targets, causing damage. At least one of them hit an oil refinery in Kapotnya district in southeast Moscow.

More fears hit a thermal power plant in the Tever region, north of Moscow. There has been an explosion at the Konakovo station, one of the largest in Russia, shortly after dawn at about 5am. An orange fireball involved some transformers, The Express records

Another coal power plant in Kashira in the Moscow region was reportedly also hit. The damage rate was unclear. Three fears have been allegedly used.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said Ukraine's attacks on critical infrastructure within Russia were a response to the Kremlin's repeated attacks on Ukrainian civilians and energy infrastructure. It is fully justified that Ukrainians respond to Russian terror with any means needed to stop it” he said.

Russia launched a massive attack on Kharkiv, Ukraine's second city, on Sunday. More than a dozen rockets and ballistic bombs hit buildings, including the huge concrete Sport Palace in Kharkiv. The black smoke was poured out of an open hole in her roof.

According to Ukraine's Interior Minister, Ihor Klymenko, five people were killed in the latest attacks. One of the victims was a 14-year-old girl. 55 others were injured. Two adults and two children have remained in serious condition.
