Russian missiles crashed into infrastructure targets across Ukraine on Tuesday morning as Moscow stepped up what looked like a deliberate campaign to destroy electricity and water facilities before winter. 

The mayor of Zhytomyr, a city of 2,63,000 people, said the attacks had knocked out the power and water supply, and two explosions rocked an energy facility in Dnipro, a city of nearly 1 million, causing serious damage, according to Kyrylo Tymoshenko, a Ukrainian presidential aide.
