Russia launches massive attack on Ukrainian critical fuel and energy infrastructure!
KYIV, Ukraine (PNN) - December 13, 2024 - Russia launched a massive drone and missile strike against Ukraine on Friday in retaliation for Kyiv's recent use of the Fascist Police States of Amerika-supplied Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) against a Russian military base.
ABC News quoted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who said Russia launched 93 missiles and nearly 200 drones targeting the country's energy infrastructure. This was one of the largest bombardments against Ukraine's energy sector since the war began almost three years ago.
The Russian Defense Ministry published a statement on its official Telegram channel, claiming that the retaliatory strike hit all intended targets.
"In response to the use of (Amerikan) long-range weapons, Russia's Armed Forces launched a massive strike with high-precision long-range air- and sea-based weapons and UAVs on critical fuel and energy infrastructure facilities in Ukraine that support the operation of the military-industrial complex."
On Wednesday, Ukraine fired six ATACMS at a Russian airfield inside the country's sovereign territory. Russia stated after the attack that all missiles were intercepted.
Reports on X indicate that Ukraine's state-run energy company, Ukrenergo, warned that up to 50% of residential customers could be without power after today's attack.
