Ukrainian officials said the overnight bombardment targeted multiple cities, including Kyiv, Zaporizhzhia, Odesa and Chernihiv, as part of what they described as a renewed effort by Moscow to cripple the country’s power system ahead of winter.
In the Kyiv region, a mother and her two daughters — aged six months and 12 years — were killed when a strike set their home ablaze in the village of Pohreby. Elsewhere in the capital, two people died and several were injured after drone debris ignited fires in high-rise buildings, prompting extensive rescue operations. Emergency services reported that dozens of residents, including children, were pulled from burning apartments as flames spread through several residential blocks.
