Russian drone strikes kill at least three people, damage shopping centers, and knock out power to hundreds of thousands across Ukraine in overnight attacks.
POLICY WIRE — Kyiv, Ukraine — Russian drone assaults resulted in at least three fatalities across Ukraine, struck two distinct shopping centers, and disrupted electricity supplies for approximately 370,000 residents in the northwest following targeted blows against regional energy infrastructure.
The prolonged aerial barrage specifically concentrated on the major urban centers of Kyiv and Kharkiv, inflicting structural damage on 30 separate energy facilities according to President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, which collectively left up to 600,000 citizens experiencing blackouts.
In the eastern municipality of Kharkiv, Governor Oleh Syniehubov confirmed that two individuals lost their lives while another 12 suffered injuries across three distinct administrative districts during the sweeping offensive.
Additional authorities noted that overnight missile and drone incursions affected multiple Ukrainian regions simultaneously, occurring as international leaders converged in New York.
