Over the past week, Russian forces have systematically attacked residential areas of Ukrainian cities with drones and missiles, causing significant material damage and human tragedies. The most severe consequences of the shelling were in Odesa, Kherson, and Kryvyi Rih, which led to large-scale power outages and disruption of utility infrastructure.

At night, Russia launched a combined drone and missile strike on the territories of Dnipro, Kyiv, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson regions. According to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, 83 drones were shot down, and another 59 were lost in the area. Eight people were injured in the attack, and the residential infrastructure was heavily damaged, causing short-term power outages.
