Two Killed in Russia as Ukraine Faces Energy Attacks

At least two people were killed in a drone attack in Russia’s southwestern Saratov region, where a residential building was damaged and windows were blown out at a kindergarten and clinic. The Russian defence ministry said it shot down 41 Ukrainian drones over Russian territory overnight. In Ukraine, Russia launched drone and missile strikes on five regions, targeting energy and port infrastructure, leaving more than a million people without electricity. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that Russia sent over 450 drones and 30 missiles into Ukraine overnight. An attack on the Black Sea city of Odesa caused grain silos to catch fire at the port, and two people were wounded in the wider Odesa region.
