Missile strikes across Ukraine yesterday destroyed residential buildings and caused power outages in some areas, but Ukrainian air defenses contained the effects and the damage did not appear as severe compared to the previous wave of airstrikes on November 23.

According to Galushchenko, electricity production facilities and substations were hit, with Kyiv, Vinnytsia and Odesa regions being the most seriously affected, BTA notes.
