Ukrainian authorities reported sustained overnight Russian attacks on Kyiv, including damage that disrupted power for about 600,000 people. Kharkiv also came under a major assault involving 39 ballistic missiles and more than 120 attack drones and other weapons, according to UN reporting. The scale of the strikes makes the campaign one of the most consequential current global security developments, with civilian casualties, widespread outages and renewed risks to Ukraine’s winter energy supply.
