Russian forces carried out a new wave of overnight drone and missile attacks across several regions of Ukraine, striking major cities and damaging key civilian infrastructure. Ukrainian authorities said the attacks targeted energy facilities, residential areas and transport networks, intensifying pressure as winter conditions persist.
In Kyiv and other urban centers, emergency services were deployed to extinguish fires and assist residents after explosions disrupted electricity and heating supplies. Officials confirmed that power restrictions were introduced in multiple cities to stabilize the national grid following the strikes.
Ukrainian air defenses intercepted several drones and missiles, but authorities said some projectiles penetrated defenses, causing localized damage. No immediate comprehensive casualty figures were released, though regional administrations reported injuries and destruction of civilian property.
The latest attacks come amid ongoing diplomatic efforts to push forward peace negotiations, underscoring the fragile security situation and the continued strain on Ukraine’s energy system and humanitarian conditions during the winter months.
