Russian strikes leave 600,000 without power in eastern Ukraine
Russian airstrikes cut electricity to over 600,000 people in Ukraine, while Kyiv reports heavy Russian battle casualties and Zelenskyy rejects proposed peace frameworks.
Recent Russian airstrikes targeting Ukrainian energy infrastructure have cut electricity to over 600,000 people in the Dnipropetrovsk region. According to local utility operators, the attacks damaged critical power lines, forcing the occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant to rely on emergency diesel generators to run its vital cooling systems. Moscow confirmed launching strikes against energy targets and a cargo ship.
Concurrently, Ukraine’s General Staff claimed Russian forces suffered more than 21,000 casualties during the first nine days of November. In a separate development, Ukrainian and Belarusian hackers claimed to have breached Russia’s statistics agency, leaking unverified records alleging around 450,000 Russian deaths since 2022.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy cautioned against proposed peace frameworks associated with US President-elect Donald Trump, describing them as "dangerous."
