Russian Strikes on Ukrainian Critical Infrastructure Knock Out Water and Power to Millions
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Russia's military has launched a fresh wave of long-range attacks on
Ukraine's critical infrastructure, cutting off water and power to large
parts of the country. Authorities say at least two people were killed in
today's attacks on Kyiv, a day after Russian drone attacks left five
people dead in Ukraine's capital city. President Volodymyr Zelensky said
30% of Ukraine's power stations have been destroyed by the latest
attacks, causing massive blackouts.
