Russia targets Ukraine's power grid in 'massive' missile strike, officials say.
1) Russia stages first big missile attack since August
2) Ukrainians fear more damage to hobbled energy system
3) Attack prompted Poland to scramble its air force
KYIV, Nov 17 (Reuters) - Blasts rang out across Ukraine's capital Kyiv and other cities early on Sunday, as Russia staged its biggest missile attack since August and targeted power facilities with the winter setting in, officials said.
Ukrainians have been bracing for a major attack on the hobbled power system for weeks, fearing crippling damage to the grid that would cause long blackouts and build psychological pressure at a critical moment in the war Russia launched in February 2022.
