Overview
- Ukraine says Russia launched 465 drones and 32 missiles overnight, largely targeting power and fuel facilities in a concentrated attack on the energy grid.
- Air defenses reported shooting down 405 drones and 15 missiles, yet outages hit nine regions and the capital’s left bank lost electricity and water service.
- Authorities reported at least 33 people injured nationwide and confirmed the death of a seven-year-old boy in Zaporizhzhia during the hours-long strikes.
- The International Atomic Energy Agency said procedures are underway to restore external power to the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, which had been running on diesel generators.
- President Volodymyr Zelensky is urging faster deliveries of air-defense systems and longer-range munitions as Ukraine expands domestic drone and missile production and intensifies strikes on Russian refineries that Ukrainian sources say have idled significant capacity.
