Russian attacks causing serious power shortages in Ukraine - NHKニュース

Intense Russian attacks on energy facilities in Ukraine are causing serious power shortages across the country.

A Ukrainian power company said an overnight attack through Sunday damaged important energy facilities in the eastern Dnipropetrovsk region. It said more than 600,000 residents of the region remain without electricity.

Officials say emergency power outages are occurring in the city of Dnipro, the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv and surrounding areas.

In the southern Zaporizhzhia region on Saturday, family members and colleagues bid farewell to civilians and police officers killed in last week's Russian airstrike.

So far, 55 people have been confirmed dead due to the attack on a site for distributing humanitarian aid supplies. A search operation is continuing.

A man lost his wife who was volunteering to hand out aid supplies. He said, "The whole world must understand" the need to stop Russia. He added that "the entire civilized world" must stop the country.
