"Kyiv Mayor Vitalii Klitschko said explosions were heard in the Ukrainian capital and warned people to stay in shelters late on Tuesday night as air defences worked to repel a Russian attack. Russian forces launched a massive drone attack on Ukraine's Sumy region, targeting energy infrastructure and causing electricity blackouts, Governor Oleh Hryhorov said on Telegram late on Tuesday night. Power outages were also reported in the Donetsk region, Ukrainian Deputy Minister of Energy Mykola Kolisnyk said."
"Electricity was later restored to 220,000 homes, Kiper said, but extensive work was still needed to repair damaged networks. The Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine is currently receiving electricity through only one of two external power lines, the facility's Russian management said, after the other line was disconnected due to military activity. Russian forces shot down 180 Ukrainian drones in one day, Russia's Ministry of Defence said, according to the state-run TASS news agency."
