At least six people were killed after Russia launched a massive overnight assault on Ukraine, firing hundreds of missiles and drones at energy infrastructure and residential areas.
Two people were killed and 12 injured when a missile struck an apartment building in Dnipro, while three others died in Zaporizhzhia. In total, 25 locations across the country, including Kyiv, were hit, causing widespread power and heating outages.
Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko said on Telegram that key energy facilities in the Poltava, Kharkiv, and Kyiv regions had been damaged, and restoration efforts were underway. The Ukrainian Energy Ministry reported blackouts in the Dnipropetrovsk, Chernihiv, Zaporizhzhya, Odesa, and Kirovohrad regions but confirmed that repair crews were already working to restore electricity.
Meanwhile, Russia’s Defence Ministry said its forces intercepted 79 Ukrainian drones overnight. According to Ukraine’s Air Force, Russia launched more than 450 bomber drones and 45 missiles, of which nine missiles and 406 drones were shot down.
