On Christmas morning, occupiers launched rockets at Ukraine, resulting in casualties.

On the morning of December 25, Russian forces launched a large-scale missile attack on Ukraine. Explosions were reported in several regions. "Ukrenergo" announced emergency power outages.

This is stated in the report from "Ukrenergo."

Updated. President Volodymyr Zelensky reported that Russian troops launched over 70 missiles and more than 100 strike drones at Ukraine. Ukrainian defenders managed to intercept over 50 missiles and a "significant" portion of the drones. However, there were some hits.

The Minister of Energy of Ukraine, Herman Halushchenko, confirmed that Russian forces are conducting mass attacks on the energy sector. The transmission system operator is taking necessary measures to limit consumption to minimize negative impacts on the energy system.

As soon as the security situation allows, energy workers will assess the damage incurred. You can find the schedules for power outages in your region on the website and on the official pages of your regional energy company.

Updated. DTEK reported that the occupiers attacked the thermal power plants of the company, causing significant damage to the equipment. This marks the thirteenth mass attack on Ukrainian energy this year and the tenth mass attack on the company’s energy facilities.

Reactions from Neighboring Countries

One of the cruise missiles was moving towards Chernivtsi from the territory of Moldova, reported the Air Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Monitoring channels clarify that the Russian missile traveled 140 km through Moldova and Romania—from the Yampol area to the northernmost Romanian district of Darabani, entering Chernivtsi Oblast in Ukraine.

The Operational Command of the Armed Forces of Poland announced that it had raised its aviation due to a further aerial attack from Russia, which may target facilities in western Ukraine.

"Measures have been taken to ensure safety in the areas adjacent to the threatened territories," they stated.

Consequences of the Attack

In Kharkiv, the Russian army launched at least seven strikes. Hits were recorded in the Saltivskyi, Kyivskyi, and Nemishlianskyi districts. Several fires broke out in the city, and there is damage to civilian non-residential infrastructure.

It is known that at least 6 people have been injured. Information regarding the consequences of the shelling is still being clarified.

Explosions were also heard in Ivano-Frankivsk, Dnipro, Kremenchuk, and Kryvyi Rih.
