Already facing chronic power shortages in freezing temperatures, Kyiv’s energy infrastructure was once again the target of Russian drones, cruise, and ballistic missiles overnight on Jan. 13 which came just four days after the last mass attack.
Ballistic missile explosions rocked Ukraine’s capital at around 1:10 a.m. local time on Jan. 13, according to Kyiv Independent journalists on the ground. Additional explosions were also heard around 8:30 a.m. local time.
. . .
According to Ukraine’s Air Force, Russia launched 18 ballistic missiles, seven cruise missiles, as well as 293 Shahed-type drones. Energy infrastructure in Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, and Dnipropetrovsk oblasts were also targeted.

Reminds me of accounts of ww2 mass bombings, which were largely ineffective and expensive, reportedly. Military production is back in hours, and civilians become that much more radicalized against the bombers. It simply does not work to bomb civilian infrastructure, in addition to it being a monstrous act.

Can't win on the battlefield so resorts to trying to kill civilians. Typical Russia

Russia really wants this special 30 day operation to end, but is unwilling to just call it off, aren’t they?
