Russian forces launched a widespread overnight barrage of missiles and drones against Ukraine, striking industrial enterprises, warehouses and critical infrastructure in several regions and killing at least three people, Ukrainian officials said.

The attacks hit multiple locations across the southeastern Dnipropetrovsk region, including the cities of Dnipro, Kryvyi Rih and Pavlohrad, regional governor Oleksandr Hanzha said on Telegram.

Dnipro suffered some of the heaviest damage, with three people killed and six others injured, according to Hanzha. A business and warehouse facilities were also badly damaged in the attack.

Hanzha said Russian forces used a combination of missiles, drones and artillery against four districts of the region. Industrial facilities in Pavlohrad and Kryvyi Rih were also damaged.

The overnight barrage came as Russia and Ukraine continue to target infrastructure and economic facilities far from the front line. With the ground war showing limited movement after years of fighting, both sides have increasingly sought to disrupt the other's military and economic capacity through strikes on industrial facilities, logistics hubs, ports and energy infrastructure.

Ukraine's Air Force said the Russian attack involved an unspecified number of Oniks anti-ship and ballistic missiles, four cruise missiles and 212 drones.

The scale of the barrage underscored Moscow's continued use of combined drone and missile attacks to penetrate Ukrainian air defenses and strike targets across the country.

Ukrainian authorities have not provided a complete assessment of the damage, and the figures could change as emergency services continue to inspect affected areas.

The Russian strikes also affected Ukraine's northern Chernihiv region, where an attack on an energy facility left nearly 100,000 consumers without electricity, according to the region's electricity distribution company.

Power crews were working to restore supplies following the damage, while authorities warned that further disruptions were possible depending on the extent of damage to the energy network.

Ukraine's energy infrastructure has repeatedly been targeted during the war, particularly during large-scale Russian aerial campaigns. Kyiv has accused Moscow of deliberately seeking to undermine electricity and heating supplies, while Russia has said its strikes target facilities supporting Ukraine's military operations.

In the central Poltava region, Governor Vitalii Diakivnych described the overnight attack as “massive,” saying Russian forces struck an industrial enterprise and a critical infrastructure facility.

Officials did not immediately provide details on the extent of the damage or whether there were casualties in Poltava.

The attacks came as the war continues with no comprehensive ceasefire in place. Russian and Ukrainian forces remain engaged along a front stretching across eastern and southern Ukraine, while long-range strikes have increasingly focused on infrastructure, industrial production and logistics.

Ukraine has also continued to conduct long-range drone attacks against targets inside Russia, including oil facilities, military sites and other infrastructure that Kyiv says contributes to Moscow's war effort.

The latest Russian barrage reflects the continuing expansion of the conflict beyond the immediate battlefield, with both sides seeking to weaken the economic and logistical foundations supporting their opponent's military campaign. (ILKHA)
