A massive russian attack on energy infrastructure caused widespread power outages in the Black Sea port of Odesa on Saturday, worsening an already grim energy outlook for millions of Ukrainians this winter.

DTEK teams have already restored power to 185,000 homes and are working intensively to reconnect thousands more - prioritising power supply to the city's critical infrastructure first.

russia launched 465 drones and 30 missiles aimed at critical infrastructure and urban centres across the country, the Armed Forces of Ukraine said on Saturday. That made it one of the largest russian aerial assaults since its full-scale invasion in 2022.
