Russia launches 39 ballistic missiles at Ukraine, 600k without power

Russia fired 39 ballistic missiles at Ukrainian energy and critical infrastructure overnight, hitting Kyiv and Kharkiv, leaving 600,000 people without power. This continues Russia's pattern of targeting Ukraine's energy grid, but the scale and use of ballistic missiles mark a significant escalation. The attack underscores sustained pressure on civilian infrastructure as winter approaches, with uncertain impact on grid resilience.
