Russia said Friday that it had launched a massive missile attack on Ukraine’s energy network as a response to Kyiv firing US-supplied ATACMS at an airfield in southern Russia this week.

“In response to the use of American long-range weapons, a massive strike was carried out by the Russian armed forces… against critical facilities of Ukraine’s fuel and energy infrastructure,” Russia’s defence ministry said in a Telegram post.
