Following this, the websites of the European Parliament faced a cyberattack. The attack was carried out by Kilnet, a pro-Kremlin group. The Russian Defense Ministry claimed that the hospital was bombed because of the presence of Ukrainian armed forces.

After yesterday's attack, Ukraine is completely in the dark. Ukraine has shut down three nuclear reactors due to power outages.
