More than a dozen Russian missiles pounded critical infrastructure across Ukraine on Saturday, the Ukrainian air force said, with several regions reporting strikes on energy facilities and power outages.

At the same time, Russian occupation authorities in the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson urged civilians to leave immediately citing what they called a tense military situation.

The air force command earlier had said 33 missiles had been fired at Ukraine on Saturday morning, adding that 18 of them had been shot down. Parts of Kyiv suffered power cuts into the early evening. In one central area of the capital, shops were closed and traffic lights were off. Presidential adviser Kyrylo Tymoshenko said that as of Saturday afternoon, more than a million people were without power, including 672,000 in the western region of Khmelnytskyi.

State grid operator Ukrenergo said the attacks targeted transmission infrastructure in western Ukraine, but that supply restrictions were imposed in 10 regions, including in Kyiv. “This possibility exists…we have to understand and remember this,” he told news outlet Ekonomichna Pravda.
