Ukrainian civilians on Christmas Eve were huddled in bunkers as their armed forces attempted to shoot down the Russian drones and missiles they saw streaking across their skies.

The strikes on Ukrainian fuel and energy sources included 78 air, ground, and sea-launched missiles as well as 106 Shaheds and other types of drones, Ukraine’s air force said.

Nearly half a million households were left without power on Christmas Day in frigid weather after further missile attacks by Russia on Ukraine's damaged power grid, according to multiple reports.
