Russian strikes trigger widespread power outages across Ukraine

Russian drone and missile attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure have left over 850,000 consumers without electricity across the Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv regions.

Local authorities reported at least one fatality and one injury in the suburbs of Dnipro following a drone strike, alongside additional casualties and structural damage in Odesa. In Kharkiv, overnight bombardments sparked fires and kept the city under prolonged air alerts. Ukrainian grid operators have instituted emergency disconnections and scheduled stabilization cutoffs to manage severe energy deficits as winter approaches.

Separately, Russian officials stated that a highway bridge spanning the Mius River sustained damage.
