Russian strikes leave 600,000 without power in Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv regions

Russia has again struck Ukraine's energy infrastructure, leaving hundreds of thousands without power. In the Dnipropetrovsk region, 600,000 people have no electricity, and the occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant relies on backup generators for cooling. Another attack hit a facility in the Kharkiv region, leaving nearly 250,000 people in Slatopil without power, according to authorities. Energy provider DTEK said repairs are underway but are complicated by repeated strikes. The attacks follow Saturday's massive strikes that caused outages in five regions and affected Kyiv's water and heating. President Zelenskyy linked the assaults to upcoming talks in Abu Dhabi, while the Zaporizhzhia plant lost external power, though radiation levels remain normal.
