Ukraine war briefing: Russia pounds power grid with seven killed in biggest energy attack in months

Russia has launched a major air campaign against Ukraine's energy grid, carrying out airstrikes across at least 10 regions, including Kyiv. The attacks, which resulted in the deaths of seven people, have caused emergency power cuts in Kyiv for the first time since spring. This is the biggest energy attack in months, and it comes ahead of winter when Ukraine's energy infrastructure is already under strain.

Why it matters

Russia's intensified attacks on Ukraine's power grid raise concerns about the conflict's escalation and potential disruptions to global energy supplies. This could lead to increased volatility in financial markets and a decrease in investor sentiment.
