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.

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 KievKharkovDnepropetrovskOdessaLvovTernopilSumyKhmelnitsky 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 – LvovDnepropetrovskKhmelnitskyZhytomyrTernopil – there was no electricity . In Dnepropetrovsk, a powerful blow fell on the factory building, where military equipment could be located.
