came around 8am. A worker at the power station on the outskirts of Dnipro was telling his crew to take cover when the windows blew out. A cruise missile struck a small building nearby. A second hit soon after. With huge plumes of smoke rising, police officers arriving at the scene were met by a stampede of stray dogs running away. The explosions on October 18th knocked the plant at Dnipro off the grid, though most power was restored within hours. On the same day Iranian-made drones blasted the town of Kryvyi Rih, about 150km to the west, where a few days earlier a drone had hit an electrical substation, risking a blackout at a hospital. There were more drone and missile attacks across the country. In Kyiv they cut power to an eastern part of the city.
