Russian missiles and drones struck Ukraine's energy network overnight between Tuesday and Wednesday, causing widespread power outages in Kyiv and killing seven people, including a child, according to Ukrainian authorities.
The attacks are part of a sustained Russian campaign targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure, which has intensified as the country heads into the colder months. Repeated strikes on power plants, substations, and transmission infrastructure have left millions of Ukrainians facing intermittent electricity throughout the ongoing war.
Kyiv residents experienced blackouts following the latest wave of strikes, adding to the strain on a civilian population already coping with disrupted heating, water, and electricity services during past winters. Ukrainian officials have repeatedly accused Russia of deliberately targeting civilian energy infrastructure as a wartime strategy.
The human toll from the latest strikes, including the death of a child, underscores the continued civilian cost of the conflict as both sides show no indication of a near-term resolution.
