Russian Strikes Kill 5, Disrupt Energy in Ukraine

On March 24, Russian strikes hammered Ukraine overnight and into Tuesday, killing at least

five people and damaging homes along with key energy, infrastructure.

Officials reported hits on a vital power line linking Moldova to Europe, disrupting supplies

in the region.

Ukraine's Air Force tracked 34 missiles and 392 drones in the barrage aimed at critical

sites.

Defender shot down 25 missiles and 365 drones, but blackouts still hit consumers in six regions.

Damage stretched across 11 areas with one death in Zaporizha from strikes on apartment

blocks, two killed and 12 heard near Poltava, including a five-year-old child, plus fatalities

on a train and carkeev and shelling in Kursan.

President Volodymyr Zelensky called for urgent air defense supplies from allies, warning

of shortages as the main provider shifts focus elsewhere.

Amid Russia's ongoing invasion, now, in its fifth year, Moldova's leaders blamed Russia

for severing their main energy tie to Romania, though backups are running for now, leaving

the power grid on edge as an tension spill beyond Ukraine's borders.
