2025-11-10 | Silicon Wafers 052 | DAILY UPDATES | Russia hurls one of the biggest mixed salvos of the war at Ukraine’s power system; Kyiv is hit by emergency blackouts; Ukraine says Russia hit substations that feed nuclear plants; and Moscow pushes a fresh Zaporizhzhia “nuclear plot” narrative. We’ll separate facts from threats, fearmongering from the terrifying reality.The strike: one of the largest against Ukraine’s energy grid. Overnight into Nov 8, Russia launched 45 missiles and 450 drones at Ukrainian targets, damaging energy infrastructure across multiple regions and sparking fires in Kyiv. At least seven people were killed overall, including in Dnipro and Zaporizhzhia, with widespread outages reported.
