Ukraine faced another wave of attacks last night as Russian forces launched a large-scale nighttime missile strike on critical infrastructure, resulting in five confirmed deaths. Energy facilities were significantly damaged, exacerbating the already dire electricity and heating shortages.
Poland responded by scrambling jets in defense of its airspace, signaling heightened regional tensions and raising concerns among NATO allies. Ukrainian officials condemned the attacks as violations of international law and called for increased support from European partners.
Analysts believe the strike could be part of Russia’s strategy to undermine Ukrainian resilience and put pressure on Western governments to negotiate. Meanwhile, humanitarian agencies warn of the growing risks to civilians and urge immediate attention to relief efforts.
The ongoing war continues to disrupt global energy markets, and Europe braces for possible spillover effects if hostilities intensify further.
