A Russian missile strike in Ukraine has killed one person and injured 17 others, according to the latest update from the Ukrainian military. The attack occurred in the eastern region of Donetsk, where heavy fighting has been ongoing for months. The strike reportedly targeted a military installation, but the blast also damaged nearby civilian structures, leading to the casualties.
State power grid operator Ukrenergo also said that emergency power outages were imposed across Ukraine due to the attack. The outages have affected both residential and commercial areas, with some regions experiencing prolonged darkness. The disruptions have added to the challenges faced by civilians in the war-torn country, where electricity is already a scarce resource.
The incident has raised concerns over the ongoing conflict’s impact on civilian infrastructure and daily life. Ukrainian officials have called for increased international support to address the humanitarian crisis and restore essential services. Meanwhile, Russian forces continue to conduct strikes in various parts of the country, further escalating tensions in the region.
