"Russia carried out a barrage of drone and missile strikes on energy infrastructure across Ukraine overnight, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Sunday. "The main target of the attack was the energy supply, but normal residential buildings were also damaged, and there was damage to the railway," Zelenskyy said in a post on Telegram. At least one person was killed in the Kyiv region and eight others were injured, he added."
"Ukraine's power grid operator Ukrenergo said the attacks prompted emergency power outages in a number of regions, including Kyiv. Zelenskyy said almost 300 drones and 50 cruise and ballistic missiles were launched at the Ukrainian regions of Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Kirovohrad, Mykolaiv, Odesa, Poltava and Sumy overnight. The governor of Odesa, Oleh Kiper, wrote on Telegram that a drone attack on the region's energy infrastructure sparked several fires but that all of them had been extinguished."
"Yevgeny Balitsky, Moscow-installed governor of the Russian-controlled parts of Zaporizhzhia, said the region was facing an electricity outage after a major Ukrainian attack on energy infrastructure there. Meanwhile, the Russian-installed leader of Luhansk, a Ukrainian city also occupied by Russia, said a fuel reservoir caught fire after a Ukrainian drone attack on an oil depot. One man died in a Ukrainian drone strike in Russia's western Bolgorod region, according to authorities there."
