Power outages across multiple cities in Ukraine, including parts of Kyiv, and in neighbouring Moldova have been reported after brutal shelling on Wednesday.
Power units in southern Ukrainian, Khmelnytskyi in western Ukraine and the Rivne Nuclear Power Plant are disconnected from the power system, a local energy news site reported.
Lviv's mayor urged people to shelter as the whole city is under a blackout and the head of the wider Kyiv region said critical infrastructure and homes had been attacked.
