Russia carried out its largest attack on Ukraine's energy infrastructure since spring, according to the BBC, in a wave of overnight strikes that killed at least six people and injured 33 others across the country.
Local Ukrainian authorities reported the casualties, though the BBC did not specify which regions bore the brunt of the damage or provide further detail on the scale of destruction to the energy grid.
Ukraine's energy infrastructure has been a recurring target of Russian strikes since the start of the full-scale invasion, with attacks intensifying at various points, particularly as winter approaches and pressure on the power grid increases.
The BBC report did not include comment from Russian officials on the strikes or from the Ukrainian government beyond the casualty figures attributed to local authorities.
The attack adds to the mounting toll on Ukraine's civilian energy system, which has faced repeated waves of damage and repair since 2022.
