Conversation: Russia, Ukraine attack each other's energy facilities NHK

A: Hey there! Heard anything interesting lately?
B: Not much, just the usual. What's up with you?

B: Whoa, that sounds bad! Where exactly were they targeted?

A: They hit facilities in Kharkiv and Poltava. The CEO of Naftogaz said Russia used 35 missiles and 60 drones for this attack.
B: That's a lot of weapons... Why would they do that?

A: According to the CEO, it makes no sense from a military perspective. He thinks the real goal is to make Ukrainian homes cold in winter by disrupting their heating capabilities.
B: Wow, that's really heartless. The governor of Poltava also said about 8,400 customers lost power as a result.

A: And guess what? Ukraine is fighting back too! They're using drones to attack oil refineries in Russia, causing a fuel shortage over there.

A: Yeah, they reportedly used long-range strike drones for that attack. It's a pretty intense situation right now...
