Russia has launched a series of attacks on Ukraine's energy supply, hitting facilities in Kyiv, Kryvyi Rih, Dnipro, Kharkiv and Mykolaiv on Tuesday. In the Zhytomyr region, the governor says 11 settlements have no electricity after a missile attack on a thermal power plant.

Ukraine's energy minister told the BBC his country needs international support to 'close the sky', while authorities are doing everything they can to repair facilities before winter.
