In brief
Russian missiles and drones struck an energy facility and a residential building outside Kyiv overnight, killing three people and injuring 21. The attacks cut power for about 600,000 residents in the Kyiv region and Kharkiv, while President Donald Trump insisted an energy ceasefire existed. Russia’s defence ministry says the strikes targeted military communication and energy sites. Ukraine’s DSNS reported the losses and the damage to civilian infrastructure, raising concerns over the escalating war damage.
What Russia Hit Overnight
Russia fired missiles and drones at an energy plant and a residential block outside Kyiv. The strike killed three people, wounded 21 and left large parts of the city, and the nearby city of Kharkiv, without power – about 600,000 people are currently dark.
U.S. President Donald Trump said that there was an “energy ceasefire” between Russia and Ukraine, but Russia’s defence ministry said the big attacks were aimed at telecoms and military‑use energy sites.
It’s a reminder that the war isn’t just about front‑line fighting – everyday life is being hit too. Those on social media and following the news are watching as the power grid cracks down, and as the world watches the diplomatic chatter about a ceasefire.
