The barrage of hundreds of drones and missiles, which targeted energy facilities across Ukraine, killed at least one 50-year-old man near Kyiv. AFP journalists in the capital heard air raid sirens and explosions as Ukrainian air defense systems responded to the drones and missiles. The head of the southern Odesa region added that Russian drone had crashed into a residential building and energy facilities had been hit. The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for two top Russian military officials over the attacks on Ukraine’s energy grid. Due to war-time sensitivities, Kyiv does not say which energy facilities have been damaged or destroyed in Russian attacks.
