Russian forces attacked Ukrainian hydroelectric power stations and other energy facilities on Monday morning in missile strikes that left many people without electricity or running water.

Several explosions rocked Kyiv and black smoke hung over the capital after drone and missile attacks that Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said targeted 10 Ukrainian regions and damaged 18 mostly energy-related facilities.
