Ukraine Under Fire: Escalating Attacks and Energy Crisis

At least two people were killed and many injured in Kharkiv due to Russian shelling. Overnight, Russia launched missiles and drones targeting Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, damaging facilities and exacerbating rolling blackouts. Both sides continue targeting infrastructure in a conflict that's now in its third year.

At least two individuals were killed and 18 were wounded in Ukraine's second city, Kharkiv, following an afternoon of Russian shelling, local officials confirmed. The shelling struck a densely populated residential area, city mayor Ihor Terekhov reported.

In an overnight assault, Russia unleashed a wave of missiles and drones, hitting energy facilities in southeast and western Ukraine. The attack injured at least two workers and significantly damaged the country's power infrastructure, officials from Kyiv announced.

Ukraine is grappling with rolling blackouts as Russia continues its relentless attacks on the nation's energy grid, which began three months ago. During this latest attack, Russia fired 16 missiles and 13 Shahed drones, with Ukraine's air defenses intercepting most. State-owned Ukrenergo reported significant damage in Zaporizhzhia and Lviv regions, further stressing the nation's power grid.
