Russia launched a second day of massive strikes on Ukraine, targeting power infrastructure in cities including Kyiv, Lviv, Kharkiv, and Odesa. Ukrainian air defenses warned of hypersonic missile attacks, and mass drone strikes caused blackouts and water shortages. Three people were confirmed dead, with more casualties reported in Kryvyi Rih and Zaporizhzhia. The strikes follow Ukraine's recent territorial gains in Russia's Kursk region. U.S. President Joe Biden condemned the attacks as "outrageous," while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky urged Western allies to allow deeper strikes into Russia using their weapons.
