Russia Goes All‑Out on Ukraine: 120 Missiles, 90 Drones, and a Bombardment of Battery Power
In a flurry that would have made any flight‑tracker app blush, Russia fired off more than 120 missiles and 90 drones this Sunday morning, calling it a “large‑scale attack.” The targets? Mainly the very thing that keeps Ukraine’s lights on and phones buzzing: the energy grid.
How the Bombardment Looks
- Missiles: 120 air‑to‑ground rockets, most of them coming from a mix of radially‑awarded “aero‑ballistic” and dumbballistic types.
- Drones: 90 Iranian‑made Shahed drones swooped down, whizzing through the skies like malfunctioning traffic lights.
- Impact: Pretty much a wave of drones and missiles that zeroed in on Ukraine’s energy hub in ways that left the entire grid rattled — imagine a storm of electric darts.
Zelensky’s Take on the Off‑hit
President Volodymyr Zelensky chimed in, bragging that Ukraine’s defence forces intercepted a whopping 140 air targets. He added, “The enemy purposely aimed for our energy infrastructure across the country.” In short, the Russian campaign is a focused hit on the line that keeps Kyiv, Kharkiv, and even the countryside powered. Unfortunately, the damage is real: a skirmish of debris and drone runs, and, on the front line of this assault, in Mykolaiv, a drone strike killed two people and left six others—two of them kids—open‑mouthed, injured. A tough day for a little town that thinks its defense capabilities are just a matter of keeping the lights on.
Our Hearts Go Out
Zelensky, with his usual front‑on style, extended his condolences to the families of the deceased and the wounded. A reminder that behind each statistic are real people, living, perhaps, without the warmth of a simple candle or that glow of a streetlamp.
For a country that battles more than just artillery, this attack reminds us that the old wargames have moved into the skies, and the only safe place is a well‑guarded bunker—or at least a well‑fortified connection to the power grid.

When the UK skies start to feel a bit too cozy, the Royal Air Force pulls its fighters out of their hangars, jets roaring down the runway like a pack of excited wolves. The latest scramble saw B‑to‑B engines and cold‑war‑era tactics proving that no aircraft will just glide through UK airspace unnoticed.
Behind the Hype: Power Outages & Missiles on the Menu
“Some zones are still out of power,” notes a nervous Ukrainian source – probably because a barrage of 120 missiles and 90 drones knocked out the grid. Ukrainian President Zelensky, who’s more often seen in front of blast radiators than headlines, bragged that the air defense shot down over 140 arrivals before they could spit out the fire.
Key Missiles & The Big Picture
- Courtside cruise – the “Zircon” that turns satellite tech into a very annoying personal trainer
- Iskander – a ballistic drone that loves heat signatures, not cupcakes
- Kinzhal – the aeroballistic version of a missile that likes to play tag with the EU and LAUNCH
From Kyiv to the capital of the UK, the line of “talking about power” built up like a power‑plant rodeo. The “black-out” situation turned sparkles into an inconvenient blackout, forcing emergency shutdowns and leaving people squinting at the ominous absence of a toaster’s glow.
Russian Spin Meets Ukraine’s Reality
While the mist is thick, Russian Deputy Commander Dmitry Medvedev seems to cheer at the chaos, shouting, “You’ll feel what we history did that morning.” Ukrainian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha shrugs, stating that these attacks feel nothing like the “peaceful cities” of some legends – they’re pure chaos.
