Kyiv told to save electricity after Russian missile strike
Ukraine's state energy operator has urged Kyiv residents to cut down on electricity use in the evenings, after a Russian missile strike disabled a power installation near the capital.

" If this advice is ignored, we will have difficulties and it will be necessary to Take Out The Candles , " he warned on Telegram.

The energy warning comes as more heavy fighting is reported north of Russian-held Kherson.
