President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky responded to the massive attack. According to him, strikes with Kalibr missiles containing cluster munitions were recorded in several regions, targeting civilian infrastructure.

“These cluster munitions significantly complicate the work of our rescuers and energy workers in dealing with the aftermath of the strike, and this is a very insidious escalation of Russian terrorist tactics,” the president noted.

According to the Ministry of Energy, today marked the 11th massive attack this year on civilian energy infrastructure.

“Energy workers are working to ensure backup power schemes where possible. They have already begun restoration work where the security situation allows,” the statement reads.
