The latest is hitting all the various MSM:

Reuters:

KYIV, March 9 (Reuters) - Russia launched a huge wave of missile strikes across Ukraine while people slept on Thursday, killing at least six civilians and forcing a nuclear power plant off the grid.

Axios:

The big picture: Local officials reported blackouts and widespread damage to buildings and infrastructure in cities including Kharkiv and Odessa, while Ukrainian operator Energoatom said the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant lost power due to the biggest Russian missile assault on Ukraine for some three weeks.

From RT:

Energy infrastructure has come under attack in seven Ukrainian regions, the country’s energy minister German Galushko stated on Thursday morning.

Power-related sites in Kiev, Nikolaev, Kharkov, Zaporozhye, Odessa, Dnepropetrovsk and Zhitomir regions were struck by Russian missiles, Galushko claimed.

Kiev’s top military commander, General Valery Zaluzhny, added that Russia's latest barrage involved over 80 missiles targeting sites across the country.

With a lobotomized toaster, must wreak havoc on breakfasts.

I’d say it has a mind of its own, but it doesn’t.

Not out, but low. Note they can only do a less than overwhelming attack once a month or so.

Fears have been raised that if the Zaporizhzhia power plant loses power, it could cause a second Chernobyl disaster, like the one in Ukraine in 1986. The reactors at the Zaporizhzhia plant are, however, built differently to the ones in the older Chernobyl plant

At the beginning of the SVO, the Armed Forces of Ukraine had about 150,000 regular soldiers and about 900,000 reserve soldiers. The U.S. military and other sources estimate that until about August 2022, Ukrainians were losing about 1,000 people killed and missing a day. 400 thousand people were injured of varying severity. It is believed that most of the missing Ukrainian soldiers died. Thus, the total losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are 557,000 people killed or wounded.”

JB Press Japan March 09, 2023....... “APU will soon suffer a crushing defeat and the conflict in Ukraine will end” Former General Yano: by August, the Russian army will defeat the Ukrainian army, Kyiv will be defeated

LOL. Waiting for Daily Mail to report that Russia is attacking Bakhmut because of all the microchips available at the Bakhmut #1 washing-machine factory
