Two people were injured in the Kyiv region and one was hurt in the Kirovohrad region, Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said. The strike was the latest in a wave of attacks on critical energy infrastructure that began in March. Galushchenko did not name the hit facilities, part of a policy of wartime secrecy that Kyiv says is needed to prevent Russia using the information for further airstrikes.
"The world slept through the revival of Nazism — at 5 am on Feb 24, 2022. And today, everyone who remembers the Second World War and lived to this day feels deja vu," he said.
