Ukraine war: Five dead and a million without power after wave of Russian strikes
A million people are without power across Ukraine after Russian missiles targeted energy infrastructure, BBC reports
There is no electricity in the second-largest city of Kharkiv, the regional head says, and more than 53,000 households in Odesa are without power.
Ukraine's energy minister, German Galushchenko, accused Russia of trying to provoke "a large-scale failure of the country's energy system".
At least five people have been reported killed and 14 wounded.
President Volodymyr Zelensky said the latest wave of attacks showed that Western allies must give more military aid to Ukraine, including additional air defence systems.
"There are no delays in Russian missiles like there are in assistance to our country," he wrote on Telegram.
Some 90 missiles and 60 Shahed drones were launched into Ukraine during the wave of overnight attacks, he said.
Among the targets was Ukraine's largest dam - the DniproHES in Zaporizhzhia, which was hit eight times according to Ukrainian officials. Video footage appeared to show the dam on fire, but authorities say there is no threat of an imminent breach.
