Russian strikes hit an apartment block and energy sites in Ukraine, killing 4

On Nov. 8, Russian forces launched a barrage of drones and missiles killing at least three and hitting energy sites in three regions, including a residential block in Dnipro, Ukraine.
Kyiv officials say the strikes aim to cripple power, water and heating to 'weaponize winter', while Russia's Defence Ministry said the operation retaliates against Ukrainian long-range drone strikes on Russian refineries targeting military and energy sites.
The Ukrainian Air Force reported that Russia launched 503 projectiles, including drones and missiles, while air defences shot down 406 drones and nine missiles, but 25 locations were struck.
Rescuers in Dnipro reported recovering three bodies and multiple injuries including children, while Ukraine's energy minister Svitlana Grynchuk said emergency power outages were introduced in several regions.
Experts warn that the pattern of attacks throughout the year positions the strikes as part of a broader trend to weaponize winter, risking severe heating outages in Ukraine.
