skyline, the ukrainian capital just one of several regions hit by a barrage of russian missile strikes while people was sleeping. we will come to have very strong explosion. it felt like it had stuck the house next door, or some were very close, but we didn't immediately understand what it, what we ran to the corridor. reduce dolly. i'm fed up with it. i can't stand them any more. no more seattle did. how can you do this? he bought the merchandise houses possible through the names are different and they're not human. i don't know what to call them. the lawyer kick more there. frightening the children for their traumatizing done. if it's, if you couldn't, you couldn't at least 5 people were killed off to a rock. it struck houses in the levine area.
7:03 pm
there were also reports of fatalities in the region of cason russian missile strikes and also forced the zapper, which is a nuclear power plant. off the grid. this latest attack on europe's largest nuclear power station is causing huge international can son. this is this 6 time that this up, what is your nuclear power plant has look all off site power and house how to operate in these emergency mold. let me remind you, this is the largest nuclear power station in europe operating for the 6 time or other emergency diesel generators. what are we doing? this was rushes 1st to mass missiles strike since mid february. it says it was targeting ukrainian infrastructure. but yet again,
7:04 pm
it's left ukrainians. counting the dead. tis of these correspondent i'm in s f as in the capital keep any earlier told me about the latest on this operation nuclear plant. that's right. seems that this power plant ends up richer, which is the largest in europe, as you heard, was temporarily taken off of the electric power supply that allows it to operate. now they have a system in place that it will automatically start using power from generators that run on diesel. so russia attempted to play down the danger here saying that it's happened before and that the power plant has always remained in stable condition. and now what's important to understand is that russia is now in control, or since the very early on. and the war has been in control of the sap risha nuclear power plant, but it gets its electric supply from the ukrainian grid. so strikes like these from russia can actually take the power plant off the grid,

7:06 pm
a direct hit. now we're hearing reports that 5 people have died after it hit a house there in a suburban area. so perhaps most shocking for residents in far west ukraine, which is very far away from the front line and is not in daily contact with the death and destruction of this war. i mean, you're of course, reporting for us from the capital. keep people woke up there this morning to the sound of explosions. can you give us an update on what the situation is like now? the strikes were very close to the center of the city. this time the explosion was so loud that it shook me awake as i did many other residents here. we know that it struck in 2 regions. one of them hit in an electrical plant that supplies power to the city. so or at least 15 percent of the city were lost, power a 40 percent lost heat. and that's a change from the last few weeks when there is relative calm here. and it's going back to the months over the winter that t of suffered very regular strikes, which caused blackouts. and really reminded people in key if there is no part of
