Russian Strikes on Kyiv and Ports Leave 600,000 Without Power

Russia has escalated attacks on Ukraine, striking port infrastructure, cargo vessels, and energy facilities, leaving around 600,000 people without power in Kyiv, according to Ukrainian officials. A Russian ballistic missile hit Kyiv’s CHPP-4 energy facility and a residential building, killing two and injuring 21, per Mayor Vitali Klitschko. Moscow claims drones targeted military and dual-use cargo sites at Izmail port, with footage showing Geran-4 drones near Ukrainian ports. Ukraine has resumed strikes on Russian oil-refining infrastructure, including Ryazan installations, despite US President Donald Trump’s diplomatic push for an energy truce. President Volodymyr Zelensky warned Kyiv would not hold back its own attacks indefinitely.
