Russia kills several in Ukraine, targets energy infrastructure

Overnight Russian strikes in Ukraine have claimed the lives of at least five civilians, targeting infrastructure critical to the nation's energy and food security. In Kharkiv, two elderly men were killed when a high-rise in the Saltivskyi district was hit, with 21 others sustaining injuries. Kherson's Berislavsky district was also hit, resulting in the death of a 61-year-old woman. Meanwhile, in Pavlohrad, nine people, including four children, were wounded in an attack near a shopping mall.

The Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky, reported that Russian forces targeted energy infrastructure across multiple regions, including Zhytomyr, Mykolaiv, Kiev, Kherson, Sumy, Kharkiv, Dnipro, Zaporizhia, and Donetsk. Additionally, Ukrainian drone attacks killed three civilians in Belgorod, Russia. Overnight, Russia launched a barrage of ballistic, antiship, and anti-radar missiles, as well as over 200 Shahed drones, targeting 22 locations across Ukraine, with missile remnants found at six sites.

Russia's attacks on Odesa's energy sector and port have severely damaged infrastructure, killing at least eight people and causing power outages. Zelensky emphasized that these attacks pose a threat to global food security due to the port's role in exporting grain worldwide. In northeastern Sumy, two oil refineries were struck, further impacting Ukraine's energy landscape.
