Russian-held territories in Ukraine are plunged into darkness due to widespread power outages last night, as what local Kremlin-controlled security forces describe as "a massive drone attack" unfolds.

Kyiv has been bombarded with drones shortly after Russian President Vladimir Putin threatened to respond to a massive Ukrainian attack in Russia. Ukraine ’s Air Force reported on Telegram that Russia had launched ballistic missiles and drones into the war-torn country early on Friday, per CNN.
