Russia pounded Ukraine with missiles Friday, hitting critical infrastructure across the country and knocking out power as people took cover in shelters, Ukrainian officials said.
Local officials said infrastructure had been hit in the eastern region of Kharkiv, the Black Sea region of Odesa and in Vinnytsia in west-central Ukraine in the latest big wave of missile strikes since October.
Kharkiv, the central city of Poltava and parts of Kyiv were left without electricity and the northern Sumy region suffered power outages, regional officials said.
