Russia hit Kyiv with a massive drone and missile attack that left parts of the capital without power and disrupted water supply as Moscow targets energy infrastructure ahead of winter.

Power was out in several city districts and at least 12 civilians were injured, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said in a Telegram post on Friday. He added that firefighters extinguished a blaze in a multistory building in the city center which was hit by drone debris. The attack also disrupted water supply to people’s homes, Klitschko said.
