Russian strikes cut power for 600,000 in eastern Ukraine
Russian air strikes damaged energy infrastructure in Dnipropetrovsk, leaving 600,000 without power, as battlefield casualties surge and hackers claim access to Russian military loss data.
Over 600,000 residents in Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk region lost electricity following Russian air strikes targeting energy infrastructure overnight. According to energy provider DTEK, key facilities were damaged in the assault. The occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant was forced onto backup diesel generators to maintain essential reactor cooling systems. Moscow's Defence Ministry confirmed strikes on Ukrainian energy targets and a cargo vessel.
On the battlefield, Ukraine's General Staff reported that Russian casualties exceeded 21,000 during the first nine days of November. Meanwhile, cyber activists claimed to have hacked Russia's national statistics agency, releasing unverified data alleging roughly 450,000 Russian combat deaths since 2022.
In political developments, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy characterized proposed peace plans associated with US President-elect Donald Trump as "dangerous."
