Sixteen people sustained injuries during overnight and morning strikes across eight Ukrainian regions that targeted energy and railway infrastructure, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated.
Zelenskyy stated that Russian forces utilized Shahed drones to strike electrical substations, noting that operations remain vulnerable due to speed restrictions on Starshield terminals near the front line and in occupied territories.
