Russian overnight strikes kill at least eight across Ukraine and damage power grid

Russian forces launched a widespread overnight air assault using ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones targeting multiple Ukrainian cities, including Kyiv, Lviv, and Kryvyi Rih. Ukrainian Minister of Internal Affairs Ivan Vyhivskyi confirmed that at least eight people were killed and over 50 others were injured in the attacks, which damaged residential homes and civilian infrastructure.

The bombardment severely damaged energy facilities, leaving communities across five regions without power. Ukraine's national grid operator, Ukrenergo, reported that the most critical outages occurred in Sumy Oblast, cutting electricity to Sumy and neighboring areas. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that preliminary data indicates Russia used a North Korean ballistic missile during a strike on Radushne, near Kryvyi Rih.
