"Russia deployed 653 drones and 51 missiles in the overnight barrage that began on Friday, striking energy facilities and critical infrastructure across the country, Ukrainian officials said. At least eight people were wounded in the attacks, which Minister of Internal Affairs Ihor Klymenko confirmed hit 29 separate locations. The assault temporarily severed power to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, raising new concerns about reactor safety."
"Energy facilities were the main targets, Zelenskyy said of the latest assault, noting that one drone strike destroyed a railway station in Fastiv, near Kyiv. Ukrainian air defences intercepted 585 drones and 30 missiles, the air force reported. Moscow claimed its strikes targeted military-industrial complex enterprises and the energy facilities that support them, asserting that all designated targets were hit. The diplomatic push comes as battlefield dynamics increasingly favour Russia."
Three days of negotiations between Ukrainian and United States officials ended without a breakthrough. A phone call between President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and US envoys was described as substantive but meaningful progress depends on Moscow's willingness to pursue genuine peace. Russia launched one of its largest aerial assaults, deploying 653 drones and 51 missiles that struck energy facilities and critical infrastructure across Ukraine. At least eight people were wounded and 29 locations were hit. The assault briefly severed power to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, raising reactor safety concerns that require continuous electricity for cooling. Ukrainian air defences intercepted hundreds of incoming drones and missiles.
