Ukraine’s energy operator DTEK on Sunday announced “emergency power cuts” in the Kyiv region and two others in the east after authorities revealed Russia had launched a “massive” aerial attack on the energy grid.<\/p>\n

“Emergency power cuts in Kyiv, in the Kyiv region, in the Donetsk region, in the Dnipropetrovsk region,” DTEK wrote on social media platform Telegram.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Ukraine’s Energy Minister German Galushchenko said on Telegram that “a massive attack on our energy system is ongoing” and that Russian forces were “attacking electricity generation and transmission facilities throughout Ukraine”.<\/p>\n

AFP journalists heard explosions in the early morning in Kyiv and close to Sloviansk in the Donetsk region.<\/p>\n
