Russia launched a large wave of drones and missiles at multiple Ukrainian cities overnight, according to Reuters. Ukrainian officials said the assault damaged energy infrastructure and hit residential areas, adding to pressure on civilians already living under repeated strikes.

Kyiv described the attack as one of the biggest in recent weeks. The barrage came as Ukraine continued to face daily risks to power supplies, housing, and basic services, underscoring how Russia’s war keeps putting civilian life at the center of the destruction.

The reported strikes on energy facilities are especially significant because they can disrupt electricity, heating, and other critical services far beyond the immediate blast zones. For families across Ukraine, that means more uncertainty and a deeper toll on daily life.

Reuters said the assault involved dozens of drones and missiles, but details on the full scale of damage and casualties were still developing. Ukrainian authorities were continuing to assess the impact as emergency crews responded to affected areas.
