Russian strikes in Ukraine kill five, cut Moldovan power line, officials say

Russia launched 34 missiles and 392 drones overnight, killing five and damaging homes and energy infrastructure, including Moldova's key power link, officials said.

  • On Tuesday, massive Russian aerial bombardments across Ukraine killed at least five people and damaged infrastructure in 11 regions, officials said.
  • Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had warned of a forthcoming "massive strike," citing concerns Russia would "exploit the war in the Middle East to cause even greater destruction."
  • Russia launched 34 missiles and 392 drones in the overnight attack; air defense units neutralized 25 missiles and 365 drones, though strikes still ignited fires in Poltava and hit residential buildings in Zaporizhzhia.
  • Overnight strikes disconnected Moldova's key Isaccea-Vulcanesti power line to Romania, prompting President Maia Sandu to write that "alternative routes are in place, but the situation remains fragile."
  • Moldovan officials warned the attacks "undermine regional energy security and endanger critical civilian infrastructure," urging citizens to reduce electricity consumption during peak hours amid the fragile supply situation.
