Power cuts in Ukraine and Moldova as missiles hit - BBC News

The whole of Ukraine's western city of Lviv is without power after widespread strikes were reported - including in the capital Kyiv.

Neighbouring country Moldova also reported "massive" blackouts, although it has not been directly hit.

Lviv's mayor urged people to shelter, while the head of the wider Kyiv region said critical infrastructure and homes had been attacked.

Russia has recently increased its attacks on Ukrainian energy networks.

More than half of Moldova is without electricity, deputy prime minister Andrei Spinu wrote on Twitter.

"Massive blackout in Moldova after today's Russian attack on Ukraine's energy infrastructure," he said.

Earlier, an air-raid alert was issued across Ukraine, followed by reports of explosions in a number of locations.

  1. Российского посла Олега Васнецова 23 ноября вызвали в Министерство иностранных дел Молдавии из-за перебоев с электроэнергией в республике. Дипломатическое ведомство намерено выразить российскому послу протест, заявил министр иностранных дел и европейской интеграции Молдавии Николай Попеску.

    "Попеску настоятельно потребовал вызвать в МИД посла России, чтобы выразить решительный протест", - сообщили в Telegram-канале министерства иностранных дел Молдавии.

    По мнению молдавских дипломатов, перебои с электричеством в Молдавии возникли из-за поражения объектов энергетической инфраструктуры на Украине.
