A widespread overnight Russian assault on Ukraine resulted in at least six civilian fatalities and significant damage to energy infrastructure. Officials reported that missile and drone attacks struck numerous locations, including residential buildings in Dnipro and Zaporizhzhia. The offensive left multiple regions without electricity or heat, though repair efforts are reportedly underway.
Ukrainian forces stated they intercepted a significant number of the incoming missiles and drones. The attack prompted President Volodymyr Zelensky to reiterate his call for comprehensive international sanctions on Russian energy, arguing that no exemptions should be granted. This appeal followed a recent U.S. decision to grant Hungary a waiver for continued Russian oil imports.
