Russian missile and drone strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure continue. Al Jazeera reports about 850,000 people lost power after attacks in Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv oblasts, with emergency outages also in Kyiv. Russia claims strikes on Ukrainian substations and three Black Sea ships; Reuters reports these claims without independent confirmation. Single-source social media reports describe a Russian Geran-2 strike on a substation in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast and a large Ukrainian drone raid toward western Russia, including near St. Petersburg; neither is confirmed by official sources.
