"A Ukrainian military official early on November 17 said three people were killed and at least 10 injured in a Russian strike on the eastern city of Balakliya, an important railroad junction in the Kharkiv region. Vitaliy Karabanov, head of Balakliya's military administration, said the attack struck the city center and injured at least three children. Nine people were hospitalized, while emergency crews were at the site, he added."
"Russia has intensified its strikes on Ukrainian energy facilities as the winter months approach, leading to fears of power shortages amid the likely freezing weather. Moscow has also regularly struck Ukrainian civilian areas, although it denies it targets such sites. Zelenskyy, meanwhile, has begun a trek to key European capitals as he looks to shore up Ukraine's energy supplies and weapons deliveries as it struggles to fend off Russian air and ground offensives."
Russian air strikes continued overnight in Ukraine, killing at least three people and injuring at least ten in Balakliya, a key railroad junction in Kharkiv region. Local officials reported the strike hit the city center and wounded children; nine people were hospitalized and emergency crews responded. Balakliya was occupied by Russian forces early in the 2022 invasion and later retaken by Ukraine. Russia has intensified attacks on energy infrastructure ahead of winter, raising fears of power shortages. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is traveling to European capitals to secure energy supplies and additional weapons, including meetings in France and Spain.
