Overview

• Ukraine’s air force counted 465 strike and decoy drones and 32 missiles in the overnight assault, with 405 drones and 15 missiles intercepted or jammed.
• Power cuts hit nine regions as parts of Kyiv—including the left bank—lost electricity and water, and metro and bus services faced delays.
• Authorities reported more than 20 people injured nationwide and a 7-year-old killed in Zaporizhzhia, with fires and building damage in the capital.
• Energy operator DTEK said thermal plants sustained significant damage, and Ukrenergo cited the worst supply problems in Kyiv and five oblasts with emergency outages continuing.
• Repair crews restored electricity to about 270,000 Kyiv subscribers by midday and eased some emergency cutoffs in Kharkiv, Poltava and Sumy as appeals to allies for air defenses and tougher sanctions intensified.
