In the air strike early this morning, the Russian army fired more than 450 drones and more than 30 missiles, which Zelensky said. During this air strike, more than 100 Shahed drones attacked the No. 6 thermal power plant in Kiev, which directly caused half of Kiev to lose power. In addition to attacking energy facilities in the rear area, the Russian army also carried out fire raids on the front line.
