Major power outages: Displaced Ukrainians abroad urged not to return in the coming months

Synopsis

Russia intensifies its rocket attacks on Ukraine, targeting cities including Kiev, where a residential building is struck, resulting in at least three fatalities. The attacks disrupt power in the western city of Lviv and lead to widespread outages in neighboring Moldova, affecting half the country. Ukrainian officials report a tragic strike on a maternity ward in Zaporizhia, where a newborn baby dies after being pulled from the rubble. This incident highlights the ongoing danger to healthcare facilities, with the World Health Organization documenting over 700 attacks on hospitals since the war began. In Kherson, doctors struggle to provide care without power, using flashlights to treat a teenager severely injured in a Russian strike. As winter approaches, residents face critical shortages of water, food, and heating, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis caused by the relentless rocket attacks.
