Ukraine reported at least 4 killed and 55 injured in Russian missile attacks targeting energy infrastructure across the country overnight, with power outages affecting over 550,000 households. President Zelensky confirmed Russian attacks on energy facilities in multiple regions, including Kyiv and the surrounding area.
Russian forces launched 16 ballistic missiles and over 200 drones, including 59 jet-powered ones, in attacks stretching across several regions. Ukrainian air defenses shot down 243 drones and four cruise missiles, but no early warning was given from international partners, according to Zelensky.
Ukraine's energy sector suffered significant damage, with rolling blackouts affecting households and businesses. The attacks come despite a supposed ceasefire on Russian energy infrastructure, with Zelensky stating Russia has targeted Ukrainian energy facilities 76 times since Trump's announced moratorium.
Zelensky called for a deal to stop strikes on Russian energy infrastructure, urging Trump to negotiate with him despite tensions over US support for Ukraine and Washington's approach to Russia.
