Overview
- Overnight attacks cut electricity across Chernihiv city and the region’s north, leaving hundreds of thousands without power and some without water, officials said.
- Ukraine’s Energy Ministry reported repair crews initially could not access damaged sites because drones loitered overhead; authorities later noted partial restoration.
- A subsequent daytime drone assault killed at least four people and injured at least seven in Novhorod-Siverskyi near the Russian border, local officials said.
- Regional authorities activated more than 260 Points of Invincibility, shifted hospitals and utilities to generators, and warned that water reaches only mid‑level floors in many buildings.
- Kyiv and independent analysts describe larger, more coordinated waves targeting critical heat and power facilities with modified missiles and drones, as President Zelensky urges more long‑range weapons and air-defense systems following dashed expectations for U.S. Tomahawks.
