Russian Drone Attack Hits Ukrainian Infrastructure

The Ukrainian Air Force reported that Russian forces launched an overnight drone attack involving 19 drones targeting critical infrastructure across Ukraine, with air defenses successfully intercepting nine of them. Damage was reported in several regions, including Kyiv and Kirovohrad, where one employee sustained minor injuries in a business building attack, and the southern Kherson region, which saw one fatality and four injuries due to strikes on utility facilities and private homes. Amid these assaults, Ukraine's Ministry of Foreign Affairs denied Russian media claims that Ukrainian forces targeted the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant, stating that recent explosions were unrelated to the facility. The Russian governor confirmed that the drone debris caused a fire in a nearby agricultural building, but no nuclear safety concerns were raised. The situation underscores the continued impact of drone warfare on civilian life and infrastructure in Ukraine as the conflict intensifies.
