October 18, 2024

Russia deployed some 99 missiles and kamikaze drones on power plants in central regions in Ukraine, deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure. Power stations were hit in Stryi, Lviv region, and Burshtyn, Ivano-Frankivsk region, both in the direction of Nato and EU state Poland. Polish PM Donald Tusk said in an interview with newspaper network LENA: ‘We have not had a situation like this since 1945. The explosions appear to have happened in Ukraine’s Novodnestrovsk region, just to the north of the Moldovan border. Moldova’s Border Agency confirmed it is possible Russian missiles crossed into its airspace overnight, adding that it has no sufficient detection systems.
