Russian strikes cut power for hundreds of thousands in Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv regions

bangkokpost.com —

Russian strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure cut power to hundreds of thousands of homes in the Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv regions on Sunday, authorities and energy provider DTEK said. In Dnipropetrovsk, over 600,000 residents lost power after a night attack damaged key energy facilities, with restoration complicated by repeated strikes. A drone hit in Kharkiv left nearly 250,000 customers without electricity, with no timeline for repairs. The attacks come as Ukraine braces for a harsh winter, with temperatures near freezing. President Zelensky accused Russia of intensifying strikes ahead of US-brokered talks in Abu Dhabi scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday.
