On 10 October 2022, Russia launched a large number of missile attacks across Ukraine as part of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. The missiles hit civilian areas and critical infrastructure: such as power plants, electrical substations and bridges.^[4]^[5] As of the morning of 10 October, explosions were reported in dozens of regional centers of Ukraine, including Kyiv.^[6]^[7]^[8]^[9]^[10]^[11] Russia's last strike on the capital had been in June.^[12]

The attacks have been described as Russia's retaliation for the attack on the Crimean Bridge on 8 October 2022.^[13] However, according to the Ukrainian Main Directorate of Intelligence, the Russian troops received orders from the Kremlin to prepare for massive missile strikes on Ukraine's civilian infrastructure on 2 and 3 October.^[3]

As of 11:00 a.m., 11 important infrastructure facilities in 8 regions and the city of Kyiv were damaged as a result of the strikes.^[14] According to Ukraine's Minister of Energy German Galushchenko, around 30% of the energy infrastructure in Ukraine was hit by the missile attacks.^[15] Ukrenergo reported that power supply interruptions are possible in some cities and towns of the country.^[16] The strikes were condemned internationally, with the European Commission describing them as "barbaric"^[17] and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg describing them as "horrific and indiscriminate".^[18]Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy called the strikes "absolute evil" and "terrorism".^[19]
