Russian strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure have left over 600,000 people without power in the Dnipropetrovsk region, authorities reported Sunday, as Ukraine braces for winter attacks. Power company DTEK said a night attack damaged key energy facilities, with restoration efforts complicated by repeated strikes. Nearly 250,000 customers in the Kharkiv region also lost power after a drone hit a critical facility. President Zelenskyy reported widespread outages, including 140 apartment buildings without heating in Zhytomyr. He also said the death toll from a recent strike on Komyshuvakha rose to 55, with more people possibly trapped under rubble.
