Russian strikes cut power to 600,000 in Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv regions

More than 600,000 people are without electricity in Ukraine on Sunday, November 8, following Russian attacks on energy infrastructure in the Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv regions. Ukrainian operator DTEK reported that overnight strikes damaged key energy facilities, leaving over 600,000 residents in Dnipropetrovsk without power, with restoration efforts complicated by repeated attacks. In Kharkiv, a drone hit a critical installation, cutting electricity to nearly 250,000 users, according to local officials. The strikes follow similar attacks on five regions over the previous night, as Russia intensifies daily bombardments ahead of winter. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the tactic as pressure before expected trilateral negotiations next week.
