"The central Ukrainian city of Kremenchuk came under attack by dozens of Russian drones and missiles overnight, causing power and water outages, Mayor Vitalii Maletskyi and the Ukrainian air force said on Sunday. The city, located on the Dnipro River 259 km (161 miles) from the capital, Kyiv, is a major industrial hub and the site of one of Ukraine's biggest oil refineries."
"The Ukrainian Air Force was cited by the RBC-Ukraine news agency as saying that both drones and Kinzhal missiles were used in the attack. Explosions were heard in the city, and residents reported disruptions to electricity and heating. Maletskyi said in a social media post that work was ongoing to restore electricity, water and heating in districts where they had been disrupted. No official figures on casualties or the extent of the damage were immediately available, and the reports could not be independently verified."
