Almost half of Kyiv without heat, power after Russian attackListen to this articleA resident uses a torch to walk down a darkened street during a power outage in Kyiv on Jan 19, 2026, following Russian missile and drone attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure. The large-scale bombardment, which targeted energy facilities across the country, killed at least one person — a 50-year-old man — near Kyiv. AFP journalists in the capital heard air raid sirens and explosions as Ukrainian air defence systems responded to the drones and missiles. The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for two top Russian military officials over the strikes on Ukraine’s energy grid. Due to wartime sensitivities, Kyiv does not say which energy facilities have been damaged or destroyed in Russian attacks.
