Russian strikes leave hundreds of thousands without power across Ukraine
Russian overnight strikes on Ukraine's energy grid caused wide-scale blackouts in Kharkiv and Dnipropetrovsk, leaving over 850,000 customers without electricity.
Russian strikes targeting Ukrainian energy and industrial infrastructure have triggered wide-scale power outages affecting over 850,000 consumers across the Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv regions. Grid operators instituted emergency blackouts and stabilization cutoffs as Ukraine prepares for severe winter energy disruptions.
The overnight bombardments included drone strikes on an industrial facility in Poltava's Kremenchuk district, with local officials reporting no casualties. In Odesa, overnight attacks resulted in one fatality and structural damage, while strikes in Kharkiv ignited fires and sustained prolonged air raid alerts.
Meanwhile, Russian authorities reported damage to a highway bridge spanning the Mius River. Ukrainian officials continue urging residents and businesses to minimize electricity usage as repair crews work to restore network stability.
