At least 600,000 people in Ukraine were left without power on Wednesday following a massive Russian missile and drone attack on energy and critical infrastructure, President Volodymyr Zelensky said.
The attack targeted Kiev, its surrounding region, and Kharkiv, damaging 26 power system facilities and four oil and gas sector facilities, Zelensky posted on Telegram.
Kiev Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported one person killed and another injured in ballistic missile strikes on the capital's energy infrastructure.
Ukraine's Air Force reported Russia launched 128 drones and 39 ballistic missiles. Air defense intercepted 115 drones and four missiles, while several failed to reach targets. Impacts were recorded at 22 sites, with debris falling at eight locations.
Russia's Defense Ministry announced its forces struck seven energy facilities and a data center overnight.
The strikes came despite US President Donald Trump posting Sunday that an immediate "ENERGY CEASEFIRE" was agreed upon, though neither side appears ready for a truce.
Meanwhile, SpaceX introduced speed limits on Starlink terminals in Ukraine without warning, disrupting defense missions, presidential advisor Serhii Beskrestnov said, suggesting a link to the "current political situation".
