More than 600,000 people were left without electricity in Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk oblast following Russian attacks carried out overnight, according to Le Monde.fr. The French outlet reported the figure on Sunday morning as part of its live coverage of the war.
Midi Libre, also citing the outages, reported that temperatures in the affected area were close to 0 °C at the time. The strikes are part of a wider Russian campaign against Ukraine's energy system, with franceinfo reporting that hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians were without power after the attacks. 20 Minutes likewise described fresh Russian strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure.
The same reporting roundup points to other recent violence. La Voix du Nord reported that the death toll from a Russian strike on a shelter in Komyshuvakha is expected to exceed 100. That figure was described as an expectation rather than a confirmed count in the material available.
The details of the overnight attack remain limited in the reporting summarized here. It was not immediately clear from those accounts how many strikes were involved, which facilities were hit, or whether there were casualties in the Dnipropetrovsk region.
What to watch next: official updates from Ukrainian authorities on the scope of the damage and whether power is being restored, along with confirmation of the casualty figures from Komyshuvakha.
