The largest thermal power plant in Ukraine's Kyiv region has been destroyed in the latest of a series of Russian attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure.

An energy facility in the eastern region of Kharkiv was also damaged when Russia launched missile and drone attacks on multiple locations in Ukraine on Thursday.

The deputy head of the Ukrainian presidential office, Oleksiy Kuleba, says more than 200,000 households have been left without power.

Also on Thursday, the Ukrainian parliament passed a bill to revise the laws on military mobilization to help ease the shortage of soldiers on the frontlines.

Under the revision, men aged from 18 to 60 are required to update their personal data with the military authorities within 60 days.

The revised legislation is aimed at preventing draft dodging as the military is often unable to locate men who are eligible for the draft.

Before Thursday's vote, General Yuriy Sodol told the parliament that Russian forces outnumber Ukrainian troops by seven to 10 times.

A public outcry over the revision is expected. It remains to be seen how strictly President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's administration will enforce it.
