The strikes targeted civilian and energy-related infrastructure across several Ukrainian regions, with reported deaths in Kharkiv and injuries at a university in Rivne. The attacks come amid heightened concern over the reliability of Western intelligence-sharing and conflicting claims about an energy ceasefire. Ukrainian officials are seeking clearer explanations from partners while Russia’s air campaign continues to threaten major population centers and critical infrastructure.
