Russian attack cuts power in Ukraine's Kharkiv, 23 wounded in Odesa

Russian drone strikes knocked out power for 80% of Kharkiv and wounded 23 in Odesa, damaging residential and energy infrastructure amid ongoing rescue efforts.

  • On Tuesday Russian drones and missiles knocked out power in Kharkiv, leaving about 80% of the city and region without electricity, while 23 people were wounded in an overnight attack on Odesa.
  • The Ukrainian air force said a large wave of drones was launched by Russian troops on Tuesday, targeting energy infrastructure across Mykolaiv and Lviv regions, with 135 of 165 drones neutralised.
  • Witness images and officials reported fires and heavy damage across Kharkiv and Odesa, where two schools were damaged and nine people including two children and a pregnant woman were hospitalised.
  • Amid ongoing air-raid risk, crews face difficulties restoring infrastructure, with repair crews and emergency services working despite the constant threat, Syniehubov said, "Our energy system came under attack and there was quite serious damage. All crews are at work to eliminate all the negative consequences quickly."
