Russia launched one of its most concentrated strikes of the war against Ukraine ‘s energy infrastructure, plunging much of the country into darkness.

Over the night on Thursday into Friday, Russia launched a combined missile and drone assault, using its upgraded Geran drones, Kinzhal hypersonic missiles, Iskander ballistic missiles, and cruise missiles. Ukraine’s Air Force said the attack consisted of 465 kamikaze and decoy drones and 32 missiles. Though eclipsed in size by other, larger attacks in preceding weeks, the attack was one of Russia’s largest, primarily targeting energy infrastructure. Drone and missile strikes over the past few months have mainly targeted military, industrial, and logistical targets.
