Russian missile and drone strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure and cities continue. Al Jazeera reports about 850,000 people lost power after attacks in Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv oblasts, with emergency outages in Kyiv. Reuters reports Russian-installed management at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant has lost its external power supply; Russia separately claims strikes on Ukrainian substations and three Black Sea ships, without independent confirmation. Reports of Iskander-M craters on Kyiv's Northern Bridge and Russia's capture of Maiske in Donetsk Oblast rest on single unverified Telegram sources.
