KYIV, Ukraine — Russian airstrikes on Ukrainian cities Wednesday knocked out power and water service and caused at least six civilian deaths in the latest assault on the country's struggling energy grid, Ukrainian authorities said.
Also, Ukraine intentionally disconnected three nuclear power plants from the national electricity grid as a precautionary measure in response to the Russian strikes, the energy company Ukrenergo said.
And in neighboring Moldova, which is connected to Ukraine's power network, more than half the country lost power, Moldovan leaders said.
