Russia pounds Ukraine with missiles and drones, killing 7 and targeting power grid, Zelenskyy says

The barrage wounded 24 and damaged power facilities as Moscow intensifies strikes on Ukraine’s grid before winter, officials said.

  • On Wednesday, Russia pressed a missile and drone barrage across Ukraine, killing seven people including a child while primarily targeting energy infrastructure in Kyiv and the surrounding region, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed.
  • Prime Minister Serhii Koretskyi said officials describe the campaign as an attempt to "weaponize winter," as Russia has launched 3,177 jet-propelled drones this month, surpassing August's 2,850.
  • Authorities reported hits on civilian areas in at least four Kyiv districts. Tymur Tkachenko, head of the regional military administration, confirmed a boy was killed in Vyshhorod, while three other people died in the capital.
  • The Russian Defense Ministry claimed the overnight attack struck a hydroelectric plant, thermal power plant, electrical substation, and data center, causing widespread power outages across the region.
  • Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha stated Russia is intensifying terror, noting Moscow refuses to engage with U.S. efforts to halt fighting, while Ukraine requires more Patriot air defense missiles to counter ballistic attacks.
