Half of Moldova without power after Russian strikes on Ukraine - deputy PM

Russian missile strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure have caused a massive power outage across Moldova, the deputy prime minister of Moldova said on November 23.

"Massive blackout in Moldova after today's Russian attack on Ukraine's energy infrastructure," Andrei Spuni, who also serves as infrastructure minister, said on Twitter, according to Reuters.

"Moldelectrica, TSO (transmission system operator), is working to reconnect more than 50 per cent of the country to electricity."
