ER Editor:  In retaliation for the Kerch Strait bridge destruction, as well as other actions by Ukraine (e.g. the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant), Russia has launched missile strikes on a variety of targets in several Ukrainian cities, including power plants, the electricity supply, water, internet and government buildings.

Moon of Alabama below picks up on western MSM reporting, noting that Russian warnings were never taken seriously. Below that, Readovka gives us a summary of the places and facilities hit in the missile strikes which appear to be ongoing at this hour.

First, some of the latest tweets:

Several sources are reporting that the Ukrainian secret services, the SBU, got bombed or ‘decapitated’ (they were reported to be behind the murder of journalist Darya Dugina):

MOON OF ALABAMA

Cities throughout Ukraine, including Kyiv, are bombarded after Putin slams Ukraine over Crimea bridge blast

KYIV, Ukraine—Russia carried out waves of strikes on several Ukrainian cities including the capital in the broadest and most intense onslaught since the start of the invasion, after President Vladimir Putin accused Ukraine of a “terrorist attack” on a critical bridge connecting Russia’s mainland to the occupied Crimean Peninsula. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia had carried out dozens of strikes using missiles as well as Iranian-made drones to target civilian and power infrastructure. “They want panic and chaos,” he said. “They want to destroy our energy system.”

Kyrylo Tymoshenko, deputy head of the president’s office, said on social media Monday that, “Ukraine is under missile attack. There is information about strikes in many cities of our country.”General Valeriy Zaluzhnyi, Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, said on Twitter that Russia had launched 75 missiles at Ukraine but that “41 of them were neutralized by our air defence.”

What is known about strikes on the territory of Ukraine to date

VERA BELOUSOVA for READOVKA

Mainly infrastructure facilities were damaged

On Monday, October 10, strikes were carried out throughout Ukraine. In most cases, they fell on critical infrastructure facilities.

Many thermal power plants are out of order, in many cities there is no water, and there are also problems with the Internet. By now, it is known that the Kiev and Kharkov subways have been completely stopped.

Currently, strikes have been carried out on Kiev, Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk, Odessa, Lvov, Ternopil, Sumy, Khmelnitsky and many other cities. In total, more than 150 shells were fired. These are probably not the last strikes – it is reported that the missiles are still flying.

Massive missile strikes are now being carried out in the Dnepropetrovsk region, and the railway track is being actively shelled. At the moment, at least 6 explosions have been reported.

Meanwhile, in Kharkiv, in addition to hitting energy infrastructure facilities, the metro is on fire. The cause can be both a hit and a short circuit as a result of power outages – in some places, the wiring can be decades old.

In addition, one of the attacks on Kyiv hit the tower of the 101 Tower business center in the city center. According to Readovka, the department of law enforcement agencies of Ukraine was based there. The embassies of the EU countries began an urgent evacuation from Kyiv.

UPD : critical infrastructure in Kharkiv is completely de-energized. Electricity and water have been completely lost in the city, and suburban trains, in turn, stopped. In total, 11 important infrastructure facilities were damaged in 8 regions of Ukraine .

There were about 6-7 arrivals in Kyiv in the morning. Attacks have been made on law enforcement agencies and critical infrastructure facilities.

Recall that on Monday, October 10, explosions sounded in the center of Kiev. One of the shells fell very close to the office of President Volodymyr Zelensky . It was also reported that the arrival next to the building of the Security Service of Ukraine. The ambulance has arrived on one of the places of impact only after 40 minutes, while local residents are in no hurry to hide in shelters.

Meanwhile, arrivals are also reported in other large cities of Ukraine – Lvov, Dnepropetrovsk, Khmelnitsky, Zhytomyr, Ternopil – there was no electricity . In Dnepropetrovsk, a powerful blow fell on the factory building, where military equipment could be located.

Zelensky confirmed shelling throughout Ukraine and said that as a result there were dead and injured.

Previously Readovka wrote that the Russian side began to strike at the Kyiv decision-making centers.
