Russian grid strikes leave over 850,000 without power across Ukraine
Overnight Russian strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure cut electricity to over 850,000 people across Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv, causing casualties and widespread grid outages.
Russian drone and missile strikes targeting Ukraine's energy network have left over 850,000 consumers without electricity across the Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv regions. According to Ukrainian energy operator DTEK and local authorities, overnight bombardments severely damaged power grid infrastructure, forcing emergency blackouts and scheduled stabilization cutoffs.
The renewed strikes also hit civilian areas, with regional officials reporting one fatality and one injury in the suburbs of Dnipro. Additional damage was recorded in Odesa and Kharkiv following sustained overnight air alerts. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky highlighted the expanding scale of weekly Russian strikes aimed at disrupting the national energy supply ahead of winter. Meanwhile, Russian officials reported damage to a bridge spanning the Mius River.
