ALBAWABA - Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said Wednesday that power lines were damaged during a Russian missile attack, leaving major parts of the city in the dark due to the power outage. 

"As a result of an enemy attack, two high-voltage lines were damaged by missile fragments in the capital. Some consumers on the left bank are currently without electricity," Klitschko wrote on social media. An energy company said the Dnipro district was partially without power.

One man was killed in the southern city of Mykolaiv, and two were injured in Kyiv. Russia launched a cruise missile attack on Ukraine around 0400 GMT, sending groups of missiles toward Kyiv and other areas, according to the Ukrainian Air Forces.
