KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says that Russia has launched 120 missiles and 90 drones in a large-scale attack across Ukraine targeting its energy infrastructure. Zelenskyy said on Sunday that Russia deployed various types of drones including Shaheds, cruise and ballistic missiles. He said Ukrainian defensed shot down 140 air targets. Russian strikes have hammered Ukraine’s power generation capacity since Moscow’s all-out invasion of its neighbor in February 2022, prompting repeated emergency power shutdowns and nationwide rolling blackouts. The combined drone and missile attack was said to be the most powerful in three months.
