Russia's latest attacks have disrupted power in Kyiv, with officials reporting a major outage that has left residents without electricity, per Reuters.

Ukraine's energy infrastructure faces its most significant assault this year, as Russia strikes key stations across the region, according to Kyiv Independent reports.

The attacks have forced Kyiv's power grid to reroute electricity over 200 miles, exposing a critical vulnerability that Moscow is reportedly targeting, per Scripps News.

Meanwhile, the death toll in a nearby village has risen to 40 following Russian strikes, highlighting the escalating humanitarian toll of the ongoing conflict.
