Overview
- Kyiv authorities report at least four people killed, nearly two dozen injured, and widespread power, heat and water cuts, with about 20 residential buildings damaged.
- Moscow says it used the Oreshnik missile against what it called strategic targets including drone production sites and energy infrastructure, describing the strikes as retaliation for a purported attack on Putin’s residence that Kyiv rejects as false.
- Ukrainian officials say the overnight barrage included 242 drones, an Oreshnik ballistic missile and more than 22 cruise missiles, with intercepts reported near Lviv at hypersonic speeds.
- European leaders condemned the escalation, and the UK, Germany and France labeled the Oreshnik use unacceptable, as the UN Security Council is set to convene Monday at Ukraine’s request.
- Russia’s Belgorod region reported about 556,000 residents without electricity after attacks attributed to Ukraine, with additional disruptions to heating and water supplies.
