Russia launched a new barrage of missiles and drones at Ukraine early Thursday morning, causing "significant" damage to a thermal power plant and maintaining pressure on the country’s electricity grid, Ukrainian officials reported. The attack on energy infrastructure across four regions damaged essential equipment, wounded seven workers, and cut off electricity to more than 218,000 consumers, according to the energy ministry.
