Ukrainian strikes kill three in Russia’s Belgorod region

Ukrainian drone strikes killed three people in Russia’s Belgorod region, which borders Ukraine, local authorities said. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said overnight Russian attacks damaged power-generation facilities and substations in nine regions, causing emergency outages. Kyiv and surrounding areas experienced hours-long power and water cuts, and emergency centres were opened. Power outages also affected Russian-occupied Crimea, where Moscow reported Ukrainian strikes on energy infrastructure.
