Russian strikes on Ukraine leave hundreds of thousands without electricity

More than 600,000 people in Ukraine’s Dnipropetrovsk region lost electricity after a Russian overnight attack on an energy facility, power provider DTEK said. Outages affected the Pavlohrad, Samarivskyi, Kamianske and Dnipro districts, as well as the city of Dnipro; repairs are being complicated by repeated attacks. Another 250,000 people were left without power in the Kharkiv region after a strike on infrastructure, with no casualties reported. The attacks come as Ukraine braces for another harsh winter and ahead of trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi, which President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Russia is seeking to influence through its strikes.
