00:00blackouts in major cities, nuclear plants in danger, and over 450 drones in one night.
00:06This is the fiercest energy war yet between Ukraine and Russia.
00:10Saturday night, Russia unleashed a massive wave of missiles and drones,
00:15targeting Ukraine's power plants with relentless precision.
00:18Kiev and Kharkiv were plunged into darkness, streets lit only by headlights and flashlights.
00:24Two major power plants shut down completely, just months after they were rebuilt from earlier attacks.
00:30Ukraine's energy minister says.
00:32Kharkiv, Poltava, and Donetsk were hit the hardest.
00:35And strikes continued through the night in Sumy and Chernihiv.
00:39To make matters worse, substations linked to nuclear plants were also hit.
00:43Ukraine is calling this a direct threat to nuclear safety in Europe.
00:47By morning, power returned to most areas.
00:50But rolling blackouts are now scheduled for days ahead.
00:52Meanwhile, Ukraine struck back, targeting Russian energy sites in Belgorod and Voronezh,
00:57leaving thousands without power and heat.
01:01President Zelensky is urging tougher sanctions,
01:04saying Moscow must feel the cost of attacking civilians before winter sets in.
01:08This isn't just a war on the battlefield.
01:11It's a war for the lights to stay on.
01:13And with winter creeping in.
01:15This energy war could be just getting started.
01:17This is a war for the internet.
01:36This is a war for many people.
