Ukraine's air defences face challenges as Russia intensifies bombing, destroying Trypilska power plant near Kyiv. Senior adviser Mykhailo Podolyak acknowledges system overload, highlighting new tactics with concentrated missile attacks on power stations. The destruction leaves towns without winter heating, amplifying civilian impact. Centrenergo, operator of the plant, reports 100% loss of generating capacity. This comes after the previous bombing of Zmiiv power station. Residents describe multiple missile strikes causing fires, leaving charred ruins. Ukrainian officials assess need for additional air defence systems and facility restoration amid ongoing conflict.
