#Ukraine's energy company DTEK says a Thermal Power Plant has been hit in #Russia's missile attack.
There were no casualties, but we can assume the plant is also not working, like many other facilities this grim November morning.

Interesting video here, taken in #Bukovel in west #Ukraine. It thought to show an F-16 chasing a missile in flight.
#Kharkiv and #Sumy also need to be added to the list.
FOUR aerial bombs hit the #Zolochiv area of Kharkiv in the last hour.
3 struck the village of Baranivka, and one near Stohnii village. No news of casualties yet.

It's relatively mild in #Ukraine today. Temperatures in #Kyiv and many regions will reach +10c.
However nights are cold with sub-zero expected on 2 or 3 nights in the coming week
The lack of power can also mean no water. Queues already formed at pumping stations. This is #Odesa

Because of the close proximity of #Russia's aircraft, they are difficult to intercept.
