The strikes targeted Ukrainian cities and energy infrastructure, intensifying pressure on civilian services as Russia’s full-scale invasion approaches its fifth year. The scale of the reported attack, including major damage to Kyiv’s power supply and the heavy bombardment of Kharkiv, makes it the most consequential developing international story among the available reports. Ukrainian authorities and international observers continue assessing casualties and infrastructure damage.
