Fresh Russian drone strikes cause widespread power outages across Ukraine

Russian drone strikes caused widespread blackouts across Ukraine as reports linked leaked data to heavy Russian casualties and Ukrainian owners sued over confiscated coastal properties.
Russian forces carried out extensive overnight drone attacks targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure, causing widespread blackouts across the Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv, and Odesa regions. Ukrainian authorities reported emergency power shutoffs affecting hundreds of thousands of consumers, alongside damage to civil infrastructure and at least one civilian fatality reported in Odesa.
Simultaneously, reports emerged of a cyberattack against Russia's Federal State Statistics Service, with hackers claiming that leaked records reveal between 394,000 and 450,000 Russian military fatalities since February 2022. Meanwhile, Ukrainian business owners in occupied coastal territories along the Sea of Azov have initiated legal proceedings against the Russian government following the systematic confiscation of hundreds of commercial resorts and hotels.
