More than one million households in Ukraine are without electricity after overnight Russian strikes targeted energy and industrial sites. At least five people were injured, and fires are being extinguished, officials said. The attacks hit Dnipropetrovsk, Kirovohrad, Mykolaiv, Odesa, and Chernihiv regions, with weapons including hypersonic Kinzhal missiles. Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant temporarily lost all offsite power but is now reconnected. The strikes come as US envoy Steve Witkoff prepares to meet Zelensky and European leaders in Berlin to discuss a peace plan. Russia’s intensified attacks raise concerns as winter approaches, while Ukraine seeks international support and funding. (PC: BBC)
