Russia Launches ‘Massive’ Missile-Drone Attacks On Ukraine’s Key Gas & Energy Facilities

Russia has launched a large-scale missile and drone attack on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure on January 15th, 2025. The strikes targeted key power facilities across several regions, forcing the Ukrainian government to implement emergency power cuts to prevent total grid collapse.

Ukraine’s Energy Minister, Herman Halushchenko, shared on Facebook that these attacks are aimed to disrupt daily life for Ukrainians. He urged citizens to stay in shelters, listen for updates, and avoid unnecessary power use.

The Ukrainian state energy company Ukrenergo confirmed that emergency power outages affected several regions, including Kharkiv, Sumy, Poltava, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovsk, and Kirovohrad. These areas have seen frequent power disruptions throughout the war.

The focus of the Russian attack was the western Lviv region. Mayor Andrii Sadovyi confirmed that enemy missiles were fired at the area early in the morning. But no damage or casualties were reported.

Despite the intensity of the attack, Ukraine’s air defence forces intercepted a major portion of the missile and drone barrage. According to Ukraine’s air force, they successfully shot down 30 missiles and 47 drones.

27 drones were destroyed before reaching their targets. While some areas saw power restored by midday, Ukrenergo warned citizens to avoid using high-energy appliances to help manage the load.
