Russian strikes cut power to 600,000 in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast as frontline clashes persist

Russian attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure left more than 600,000 consumers without electricity in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, extending power disruptions across multiple districts.

On the frontlines, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported 199 combat engagements over a 24-hour period. Russian forces launched intense bombardments, including 74 airstrikes and thousands of kamikaze drone attacks, with the heaviest offensive activity concentrated in the Kostyantynivka direction.

Amid the ongoing conflict, Ukrainian military surgeons continue performing complex limb-sparing procedures using titanium implants to prevent amputations for wounded personnel. Additionally, reports indicate Ukraine has conducted three tests of space target interception systems aimed at countering high-altitude ballistic threats such as Russia's Oreshnik missile and reducing reliance on foreign satellite technology.
