Russia continues intensive long-range strikes on Ukraine's energy grid and cities, with reported hits on thermal and hydro plants in Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipro, Cherkasy (Kaniv hydro), Odesa and Zhytomyr regions, and a claimed Kh-101 and Iskander salvo of about 70 cruise missiles, of which roughly 29 were reportedly intercepted. Casualties include a reported 31 dead and 48 missing at a Zaporizhzhia aid centre, at least 73 injured in strikes on a hospital and power plants, and possible civilians trapped in a partially collapsed Dnipro apartment block. Ukraine's drone raids on Russian oil infrastructure continue, including Yaroslavl refinery damage.
