Russian attack targeting Ukraine’s energy infrastructure injures at least 15
UKRAINE, JUL 16 – Russian forces launched 400 drones and a ballistic missile targeting energy infrastructure, causing power outages for 80,000 families and injuring 15, officials said.
- During the night leading into Wednesday, Russia launched attacks on four Ukrainian cities—Kharkiv, Kryvyi Rih, Vinnytsia, and Odesa—resulting in injuries to at least 15 individuals and causing significant damage to energy infrastructure.
- This assault occurred amid U.S. President Trump's Sept. 2 deadline for Putin to reach a peace deal, which some U.S. and European officials feared might let Russia seize more territory before settlement.
- Trump pledged new weapon deliveries, including Patriot air defense systems, while European leaders like Kaja Kallas welcomed the support but urged the U.S. to share the burden more equally.
- Ukraine's Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko announced that funding, including a $13 million increase from Luxembourg, will be allocated to urgently restore essential facilities repeatedly harmed by Russian assaults.
- The intensified assaults and ongoing aid highlight a sustained conflict with a long frontline where tens of thousands of soldiers and more than 12,000 civilians have died, underscoring the need for strengthened defense and continued international support.
