Deadly Russian strikes in Zaporizhzhia as power outages hit Ukraine

A deadly Russian attack on Zaporizhzhia killed a 7-year-old boy and injured others after striking a recently occupied family home. Overnight, Russian missile and drone strikes targeted residential areas and energy infrastructure, causing widespread power outages across Kyiv and nine Ukrainian regions. Despite the attacks, many residents remain resilient. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy called on allies to provide air defense systems and enforce sanctions, while Ukraine’s military reported striking Russian territory 70 times last month, targeting energy facilities and reducing Russia’s oil refining capacity by about 20%.
