Background: On 23 November, Russia, the terrorist state, once again carried out a massive missile attack on critical infrastructure facilities in Ukraine using strategic aircraft and vessels of the Black Sea Fleet. The Ukrainian Air Force reported that Russia launched about 70 Kh-101, Kh-555 and Kalibr cruise missiles. Ukraine’s anti-aircraft defence systems shot down 51 of the 70 missiles and 5 kamikaze drones.

The attack led to a temporary blackout at all nuclear power plants and the majority of the thermal and hydroelectric plants. Power transmission facilities are also affected. A large part of Ukraine was left without electricity and water.

Ukraine’s Ministry of Internal Affairs has reported that 10 Ukrainians were killed by Russian missile strikes on 23 November.
