Russian strikes black out Dnipro as Zelenskyy warns of more missile attacks
Russian strikes caused a near-total blackout in the Ukrainian city of Dnipro, leaving over 350,000 people without power, while a Ukrainian drone attack set fire to a Russian oil refinery in Novokuibyshevsk. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that Russia is preparing new ballistic missile attacks and urged allies to urgently supply more air defense interceptors, particularly for Patriot systems. The strikes followed an attack on a Dnipro rail platform that killed at least 14 people. The attacks came as a local ceasefire in Kherson appeared to hold, and new U.S.-brokered peace negotiations are expected next month in Abu Dhabi. Tensions remain high between Zelenskyy and President Trump, who has accused Ukraine of raising fuel prices ahead of U.S. midterm elections.
