Summary
Russian forces launched a large-scale overnight attack on Ukraine targeting energy infrastructure across multiple regions including Kyiv and Kharkiv. The strikes damaged dozens of power facilities—reports cite between 26 and 30 energy sites affected—leaving at least 600,000 residents without electricity. Ukrainian officials reported at least three fatalities in Kyiv, with firefighters battling fires in buildings. Repeated overnight blasts were heard in the capital. Ukrainian air defenses intercepted only four of 39 missiles, highlighting difficulties against high-speed ballistic missiles and drones. The bombardment also damaged railway infrastructure across five regions and hit oil and gas facilities. President Zelenskyy stated Russia violated an energy ceasefire declared by the U.S. and criticized the lack of advance warning from Western allies, though U.S. officials attributed communication lapses to weather. The Russian defense ministry confirmed strikes on power stations in Kharkiv and near Kyiv, along with other targets.
