"Russian Strikes Cause Widespread Power Outages in Ukraine"

Russia attacked electrical power facilities in Ukraine, including the largest hydroelectric plant, causing widespread outages and at least three deaths. The Dnipro Hydroelectric Station, which supplies electricity to Europe’s largest nuclear power installation, was set on fire, and the main power line to the plant was cut off. Russian troops occupy the plant, and fighting around it poses a risk of a nuclear accident. Ukrainian shelling near the border resulted in one death and injuries in Russian regions. President Zelenskyy condemned the attacks, while Russian officials reported Ukrainian shelling and repelled attempts to cross into Russian territory.
