Kryvyi Rih partially loses power after Russian drone attack; hospitals switch to generators

Russian forces launched a mass drone attack on critical infrastructure in Kryvyi Rih, leaving parts of the city without power and damaging five residential buildings. No casualties were reported. The attack occurred late in the evening, according to Oleksandr Vilkul, head of the city's Defense Council. Hospitals and water utility pumping stations are operating on generators, while city electric transport resumed normal operation in the morning. Nine miners were trapped in a shaft due to the power outage but were evacuated by rescuers. Vilkul described the situation as difficult but said all city services, hospitals, and social institutions are working. In the Nikopol district, drones also attacked Nikopol, Pokrovska, and Marhanetska communities. Separately, a Russian strike on Kharkiv's Saltivskyi district caused a large fire, injuring one person.
