Russia Unleashes Massive Barrage on Ukraine, Striking Energy Sites and Dnipro Apartment Block

Emergency power cuts rolled across several regions following fresh damage to grids and plants.

Overview

  • Ukraine said Russia launched about 458 drones and 45 missiles overnight, with air defenses downing 406 drones and nine missiles as 25 locations were hit.
  • Officials reported three people killed and at least 12 injured when a drone struck a nine‑storey residential building in Dnipro, and a worker was killed in the Kharkiv region.
  • Key energy infrastructure in the Kyiv, Poltava, and Kharkiv regions was damaged, leaving cities such as Kremenchuk and Horishni Plavni relying on generators for water supply.
  • The state grid and ministries ordered emergency outages while crews worked to restore electricity, heating and water in affected areas.
  • President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged tighter sanctions and the use of frozen Russian assets, as heavy ground fighting persisted around Pokrovsk with Russian claims of advances not independently verified.
