Nearly 280,000 people in Ukraine lost power due to Russian drone attacks, according to President Volodymyr Zelensky. Significant damage to energy infrastructure has created a severe situation in several regions, including Kyiv. Russian strikes targeted a power plant in Kyiv and four substations in the Dnipro region. Additionally, a thermal power plant in Sostka was hit, along with railway infrastructure in Dnipro and Kharkiv. Approximately 200,000 families in Dnipro and surrounding areas are without electricity, while over 80,000 families in Kyiv are also affected. Russia launched 134 drones, including 72 jet-powered ones, with many intercepted by Ukrainian air defenses, although some reached their targets.
